So, i'm about to make the switch to the Mac Mini after having a Dell Laptop's LCD screen snap off on me. I'll be ordering it with Bluetooth and Airport Extreme so all i'll need to plug in would be the power and i'll need to be transporting the thing around once and a while when i go on trips and such. So i'm wondering, is there a way i could connect it to televisions using an A/V cable, or do i have to do it using the S-Video/Composite video cable that they recommend? Thanks for your help!

You'll need their AV cable, as standard ones have the 3 separate pin connectors at each end - whereas the Mini has a rectangular connector.

The output will look very fuzzy on the TV if you intend to use it as a cheapo monitor.
