<strong>Im just wondering... wuld an iBook work whit an projector? ore do you need an Powerbook to do this?</strong><hr></blockquote>
i have an old projector purloined from a dot bust ex-employer that works very well with my iBook. i just take the three way adapter plugged into the mic socket. the yellow one is the video. slot that into the projector and bob's your auntie's live in lover.
the only issue (for me) is the length of the audio cables to the amplifier (the projectors speaker is VERY nasty) i'll get an extended cable one of these days...
I use my iBook with departmental projectors all the time, and, well...see above. The iBook (10.2) autodetects the projector when you plug it in (don't forget your VGA adaptor), adjusts its resolution to match (usually 800x600), and off you go. No restarting, no fiddling with control panels, no annoying cuts-off-the-bottom-of-the-screen. It...just...works. It actually makes switching computers on-the-fly practical when a bunch of people are doing back-to-back presentations. Literally all you have to do is plug it in. Maybe I shouldn't sound so amazed, but you should see my co-workers with their XP laptops struggling to get things to work...over and over and over again.
