erilynFor I can now hook mum's work laptop up to the tv, and watch even grainer versions of stuff, on a bigger screen!
OK, so I managed to get the cable (on the second go, but I hadn't left the shopping centre before discovering that shop assistant #1 didn't know what he'd been talking about, and went back and found #2, who actually did).
It was my sister who remembered the actual thing you have to do to switch the display from screen to tv (something not mentioned in the laptops instruction manual). And it's only video that gets put through, audio is still from the laptop. But still, could be useful, especially as it has a dvd drive, and we don't have a dvd player.
