Re: [Micronet] Apple LCD w/ VGA laptop?

You could use this CardBus video adapter called the VTbook
(http://www.villagetronic.com/). It should work with your Sony Vaio,
(http://www.villagetronic.com/vtbook/compatibility.html#sonyn) . It will
also allow you to run the display at 1680X1050 . It costs $239 at
