If you are looking for a decent VGA/TV converter, do a search on "PC PRO/TV" and
you will find AILABS converter. It will do 1024x768 with zooming capabilities etc
etc etc. The price is $159.00 I believe. I have one on the way and I use their
older one (I borrowed from work). This only does 640x480 but its perfect for
watching MPEGS. You go full screen and you can't tell if it's real, or if it's
Memorex.
I would throw away my VCR, but how then would I record movies that I rent?

Thanks,
Steve
