Slightly off topic ....

I have a laptop that has s-video in and s-video out.. It also came with a
s-video to composite conversion cable.

I thought what the hay... so I conected up the cable...fired up MGI
Videowave and there in the preview window on the LCD screen was the IIGS
display.

Monochrome looks great .... colour on the other hand was pretty bad... by
toning down the brightness and colour level I could make the Desktop useable
but with very little colour.

Since I was using a video capture application I could also save the video
output to my laptop  ...could be usefull for demonstrating problems or how
too's... although the resulting files can get quite large...


fwiw
