[huskerlug] Re: TV-out

I have a laptop with a Gforce2 Go card in it and S-Video out that I
would hook up to the system in the living room to play mp3's and stuff
from the network.  It worked great.  I once hooked it up and played
Unreal Tournament over the network and my screen was the TV.  It works
pretty cool.  I would definitely suggest the S-Video connection.
