[Ti] video out cable

[T Molnar]

Thank you for the further information Trevor and everyone else.
Things went well.

I ended up fixing/setting up PC's mostly  :-)

Everyone at the conference (small one 300 people) were glad to
have someone on site to help out.
*some very nice free food and beverages too boot :-)
Only got 1 person who flew in with a "prepared" pc laptop (ready to go) 
which they had no idea on how to setup, and
their anxiety level went down significantly upon the site of my cohort 
and myself.

Again thanks for the help people,
regards,
tim
