It appears that the reason I had such a hard time finding an S-video to component converter is that the resulting picture is absolute crap.

(I was hooking my old laptop up to the TV and wanted an arrangement of cables that allowed me to have the laptop and the DVD player connected simultaneously. Now I'll just have to swap out the audio cables when we watch DVDs, which is rare these days between the DVR and SteelyKid. And yes, I am quite sure what connections I have usefully available, thank you very much. (None of the equipment in question is new or even new-ish.))

And since I have spent more time doing that than I should considering SteelyKid's cold (she's getting better, but the past few nights have been very short on sleep), g'night, everybody.

The VGA would definitely be very cool. I have to scale the laptop down to 800x600 for it to look right (like I said, not a new TV) and while it is entirely watchable (especially for things like the new FMA in subs), I know it could be a lot better.

The nice people at Tor.com did the index page, not me. And after a while I just felt like anyone who was interested in the re-read was already over there, but maybe I'm wrong . . . ? (Also I forget.)
