NanoViz is a new computer company started by Billie Jean Hudak and Martin Wilkomen, two former tech heads, to develop and market small projection equipment for computer-driven presentations. For example, the current product line features four models ranging in price from 1,399 to 1,899. The firm's leading seller, the NanoV, sells for 1,599 and allows a presenter (a salesperson, professor,seminar leader, etc.) to connect the sandwich sized projector to the video-out port on almost any VCR or notebook computer. Clear images are then projected on an ordinary screen or - in a pinch - even a wall. One leading computer magazine recently reviewed the NanoV in its new products feature, calling it "the next best thing to buying a cinema."

Hudak and Wilkomen don't want to sell through...
