FW: [canberrabirds] Adaptor for a Mac lap top

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

This is only one of several current connector issues.  At my last COG talk I had trouble with the HDMI/VGA adapter.  The below advice is from the audio-visual support page from Berkeley University, if you are planning on giving a talk there.  For the CGGS system, as at Berkeley, one end of the adapter needs to be VGA.  It is a long way to the corner of Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue to get one.  I would not count on the below adapter helping with your shaver overseas.

Hello subscribers,

 

As you may know Jerry Olsen is speaking to COG this coming Wednesday and we’re all very much looking forward to it.

 

There is one slight problem, Jerry uses the Mac system and will have his presentation on a Mac lap top, but he lacks an adaptor that allows this to be plugged into the PC system at the CGGS

(a bit like you need to to to use your electric shaver overseas).

 

Does anyone have one of these that can be brought to the meeting and help Jerry make his presentation?

 

He does have it on a thumb drive as a back up, but the experience is that when put into the PC lap top there is a variable loss of format, and the imaging is sometimes very poor.

 

Many thanks for your help.
