Can you hook a 12" Rev. A Powerbook to an Apple Cinema Display? I know you can get an adapter for ADC to DVI, so that is 1/2 of it. I've also seen adapters that are Female DVI to Male VGA. In theory, wouldn't this work?

Thanks,

No, not the way you are talking about. The VGA to DVI adaptors do not pass the digital signals through for DVI, only the analog for VGA. There is no *cheap* way to do this, but for an expensive and probably very poor quality way, there is a box that takes VGA and converts it to digital for DVI. I can't find it right now, but it's like $400.

They make the adapter you need, and it costs 299 US.
