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

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

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.

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

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.)

Where the hell is Somerville?

That's a joke, right?

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

Mostly.

There's also one in Massachusetts.

That's the easy answer.

Anyone have any recommendations for/against external hard drives for a mac? I don't need anything huge, but I'm planning to scan a bunch of old pictures, and I'd rather not fill up my entire laptop hard drive.
