Help.

I want to use my mac in a presentation at uni on monday morning and the overhead projector only connects with a 9 pin male connector.

What cable or connectors do I need in order to get this projector hooked up to my macbook?

I'm at my wits end, I've been to a couple of computer shops today and no one seems to be able to help me!

You need a mini dvi to dvi cable, or a mini-div to vga cable.

Go to your local app store and ask them, I promise they will know and should have the item in-stock...

My nearest store is a two hour drive, and I don't have the time between now and monday to get there!

But the mini dvi to vga is exactly what I need!! Thank you very much!
