I was pretty excited when I found this SVGA VGA to S-Video Cable adapter online:



I was bummed when I read the 4th feature:
The features listed include:
1. Converts VGA / SVGA to S-Video / RCA AV signal
2. Suitable for most big screen presentation using TV or projector
3. Measures 7" (18cm) long
4. Required a video card that is capable of TV output
Since I went with one of the cheapest notebooks I could find, I'd guess it doesn't have the necessary video card capability - but who knows - will check into it when I get home.

A reoccurring thought:

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
