No damned VGA entry -- solutions?

[Sir Stiggington]

So I managed to get an old monitor for ?3 (that's not a typo), but the only problem is, I don't have a VGA port in my laptop, and it's the only exit the screen has. A projector cable won't work either cause the only exit is a VGA male. So is there any VGA (female) to USB/S-video (male) cable?

I know it exists, but anyone know of a cheap one on amazon, ebay, etc?

Thanks...

Do you have a VGA female in your laptop?

How about this...


a female to female adapter for the monitor cable

Then connect this to the adapter and then the Svideo to your laptop

You can buy USB -> VGA adapters, but they run about $75.
