    There is a device called "TView Silver" which allows you to put an image on
    the television while still having the image on your computer screen. This
    is done with the use of a special cable which comes with the "TView Silver"
    device. The drawbacks of this are that the image quality on the television
    is not the best. It's not nearly as clear a projector. If you would like
    to try it out, I have one at Sanislo that you could play with, to see if it
    is something that would work for you.

    As for the projector question, the cable on this "TView Silver" device has a
    cable that would allow you to have a projected image and a monitor image.
    Again, you're welcome to borrow it and see if it works.

    Dear Folks,

    Greg at John Hay here. I am looking for a way to hook up some of the levy
    student Dell computers to the TVs in the classrooms. Has anyone done this
    with a cable or adapter yet? Or, will I need to install a video out card?

    I have the same questions for a projection device. I can unplug the
    monitor, and it will project just fine, but I want to show both screen and
    monitor.

    Finally, I have some Alphasmart 2000s, with the round serial connections for
    Mac and PC. I would like to find a cable that connects these to the USB
    ports on the front of the Dells. I am trying to avoid the PC Y cables that
    connect in back, because I need them to be portable (to move around the
    building with the Alphasmarts). Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance for all the suggestions!
