All right update time: We've hit a snag. I went and bought the VGA cable and tried it today to find out that it isn't compatible somehow with my computer. It plugs in fine, but you know the two screws on either side of the head? Those are too short and Best Buy apparently didn't have any other model (they had like four different types of cables available, all the same length). I'll need to find a different one elsewhere, Radio Shack or the interwebs. So, pass that on to Promise, please. This isn't me doing a disappearing act, my very old cable-san is crappy and I'm on my mom's computer btw. I'll update upon new developments. Apologize for me too :/
