[TriLUG] OT: mac mini

[John Turner]

Not to worry. If you are willing to spend a few more bucks you can get  
a VGA-to-Component transcoder like this
http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/video/9a60.asp

So you would use the DVI-to-VGA adapter that is included then the  
VGA-to-YPbPr).

Also for some ATI models (not the one in the Mini Mac) you can get a  
under $30 DVI-to-YPbPr adapter.
