Well, one size smaller than that.  I also forgot to tell you the
screen size.  I'm a little panicky.  Now that his brother is done, the
landlady has hired someone to clean the place out Sunday morning, and
I can't visit until Saturday night at the earliest.

Is mini-vga the same as mini-display ports?  or iow, is this what I
need to mirror, very similar to the other ebay item I gave in another
post:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Displayport-Display-Port-To-VGA-adapter-Cable-for-Apple-Macbook-PC-M-VGA-OB-/281791697169?hash=item419c181111:g:unIAAOSwyQtV6ooN

Pulling the hard drive might be a good idea too.  I have a SATA/IDE to
USB adapter, a cable with a power supply for the harddrive, and surely
I can get some PC software to read the email files (Mac Mail), and the
file files.
