need to rent a projector

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

the end of next month i need to (hopefully) rent a projector that i can connect to a laptop to project a powerpoint slideshow. the thing is, i only have half an idea what i'm looking for and no idea where to find it. i only know what it's supposed to do, namely project onto a wall or a screen a slideshow already running on a laptop. does this kind of thing have a specific name, and more importantly is there anywhere in greater camberville/arlington/etc that will rent me one?

I wonder if a Staples or a Kinkos-type place would have them for rent (they're pretty pricey, starting in the $1500 range, I think). My company's salespeople all have Infocus projectors and do all sorts of fancy PowerPoint presentations with them.

I'm sure hotels that cater to business conferences have them (for a price).

it's for a slide show my sister and i are putting together for my dad's (surprise) 70th birthday party. we'll be in a restaurant. (a hotel would be EASY. but nooo....) i'm not even sure where the slide show is getting projected onto - i mean, are we going to show it against the wall? oy.

They actually work really well on a white-ish wall!

oh good, because i think that's where it's going to end up showing.
