It seems that mircast is designed for laptops only.  I've read that there are
USB dongles for PCs that can "broadcast" video to a matching receiver at the
TV.

When I first learned about Win10's support to cast video to another monitor on
a network, or to a TV with mircast, I was thinking "I could really use that
for entertainment and customer service at
the shop".

Before that, I was poised to rig up a dedicated pc at each TV and use VNC and
cast extended desktop displays to them.  But the extra hardware and wiring
seemed ridiculous.

Chromecast from my existing Win7 and XP pcs might be the only feasible
solution at this time.

The Canadian "day off" is on the 1st.  Yes, it was cool to not have to bother
going to the shop.  At that time I was still operating only Tue-Fri, 11-4. 
So, with the 1st off, it was only a 3-day week for me!

But now the tourists have arrived en masse.  Families/kids expect better than
Tue-Fri.  So, starting next week, the shop will be Mon-Sat 10-5.  I may as
well open on Sun too.  Every dollar counts. I have a tonne of deliveries that
I still need to unpack and shelve. I may as well be there.
