The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I would make a serious bet that you would pay more for a setup like that than you would for a TV with a kickass sound system and a DVD changer, anyway.

Speaking of DVD changers, this [link] almost makes me uncomfortable in my pants. I might be able to fit my entire current DVD collection in there!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Any Somerville-ians need a cheap older mac?

Um.

Beej - there are HD sets that only come with digital tuners that may be suitable for your purposes. Though you'll pay substantially more for them than a non-HD set.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

gave her a dummy monitor which required a tuner for tv and had a separate vhs. That seemed perfect to me, but I don't know how to replicate the set up.

I have one of those. It's monochrome (green), however. I think it was originally intended for a Commodore 64, video games, etc.

eta: Some DVD players have composite output. Some computer monitors have composite input (I think).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Certainly a lot of older monitors had composite input. Nowadays they'd hard to come by I think.

For years I had an old C-64 color monitor attached to a VCR. I even had a DVD player attached to it through the VCR.

What's the cheapest used iBook that can play DVDs and also can output composite video (with the $20 Apple adaptor)?

(btw, did I say 'composite' in my earlier post? Because there I meant 'component.' I sometimes confuse the two.)
