[QUOTE="livinitup1, post: 790483, member: 46119"] That's too bad man. Sorry that had to happen. I'm wondering if 3rd-parties are going to create a mini DisplayPort to Composite/S-Video cable for the new Macbooks because Apple doesn't seem to care to take on the task. There's a big demand for it and it's ridiculous that Apple hasn't even acknowledged that this is a problem and that they are working on a solution. What gives? It's not like it can't be done because from what I read a composite/s-video signal can be transmitted with mini DisplayPort. I guess Apple wants everyone to use projectors, monitors and TVs that have VGA connections. Thankfully I'm not getting a new Macbook till either Summer or October so I don't have to think about it yet. Hopefully a 3rd party becomes certified to make a mini DisplayPort-to-composite/s-video adapter by then because the current option is too much of a hassle. Why drop something that people need? Not cool Apple. [/QUOTE]
