Sometimes projectors seem to be particular about the resolution they are trying to project; the laptop and the projector have to match. We've had some difficulties at monthly meetings getting the presenter's personal laptops to connect to our projector (a Dell labeled projector - not sure if it's LCD or DLS). All encounters here are with Windows-based laptops.
I assume your Pismo works with other projectors and external monitors? Regards, Bob Eye Dallas, TX P.S.

I remember Apple's commercial where a Windows laptop can't do the job during a presentation, and the members of the audience are calling out various suggestions to fix the problem. The last suggestion was "Get a Macintosh." --- Stuart Saunders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There I was with my brilliant Keynote presentation > and eager audience. > > Could not get contact between Pismo and the > Panasonic LCD.
