Charlie,

>1) What's a good type of or brand of slide projection screen (those
>contraptions my uncle never could set up without pinching his finger)?

I don't have a catalog of brand names handy, but if you want the highest
quality projection, I would recomend a matt surface screen.  It is not as
bright as either an silver lenticular or glass beaded screen, but shows
better detail.  Next I would rate the lenticular and lastly the beaded
screen.  As the brighness goes up the seeing angle and detail goes down -
IMHO.  Many people like the silver lenticular which gives good detail,
brightness and viewing angle.  

I still pinch my fingers and worse, when the stand comes down it usually
gets me in the ankle!
