Travelers Blues

Entrepreneurs on the move are increasingly in need of tools that give them a professional, tech-savvy image. Proxima Corp.'s new Lightbook projector is one of those tools. To jazz up meetings, seminars and presentations, mobile presenters can plug it into a notebook computer for SVGA image support or connect it to a VCR to handle integrated video. Nifty features include Fit-to-View, which automatically corrects where images are placed on screen, and the LightBoard drawing tool for drawing on projected images. Plus, the Lightbook projector is truly mobile: At 11 pounds, it's light enough to carry with ease--and its sturdy metal frame withstands travel in the trunk or luggage compartment. Cost: $4,999.
