Yup - 2 digital optical and 1 digital coax.
There are also a few others at that price point with HDMI passthrough, which might be easier to connect. I'll have to think about it.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

If you want to wait to buy the HDTV, and have NetFlix, this could be an interesting choice. No list of price.

I've seen that announcement a few places - those sets will probably be more $$ than we want to spend. (And since Netflix is also promising Mac-compatible streaming, I can just run a cable from the computer to the TV and achieve the same effect.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Speaking of which, if I wanted to connect my little aspire one to the tv, can I do it, and how? Would I do the video out that would go to a projector and then a separate thing for sound?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If your TV has a VGA input, then it's easy. If not, then you need something like this, or this.
My TV has RCA/S-video. Would one of those cables take care of sound as well?

For audio, you'll need this.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
S-Video does not handle sound. On the other hand, we plug the laptop into the TV with S-Video and just turn up the laptop volume.

Thank you!
My little teeny laptop has little teeny speakers, and I have to wear headphone to hear when I am laying right next to it! It makes me laugh.

Our 5 year old Canon G3 camera has died (screen to see what you're taking a picture of is dead; it does take pictures still) and we've been quoted $180 to even open it up and look at it. Anybody want it, or know a place that recycles/refurbishes digital cameras?
For that matter, does does one do with a basic point and shoot 35 mm film camera? We have 2 that work fine and I hate to put them in the trash... ah, the obsolescence of technology.
