	I have a Toshiba laptop that can output both RGB (CGA) and composite
video. I would like to display this on a TV for presentations etc.  I have 
done this with no problem on a TV with a video in port, but it was with 
composite, and thus in black and white.  However, I cannot depend on the
availability of a TV with video in, or a VCR attached with a vidio in port. 

	-Does anyone know of a device that can reliably be used to adapt
composite or RGB output to display on the TV?  I am already looking into
a modulator for composite, yet that still leaves it in black and white.
If you know of anything that I might look into, including a good adapter for
composite video, please let me know. If you can include a source I would
really appreciate it. (You would think that someone like Toshiba would 
make a little add on like this for all those people who do presentations
on the road.  After all, it's easier to see a TV than the best LCD!) 

	It would be best if the device could be able to hook up to any
standard TV (i.e. one without a video port).

Thanks much.
