A General Question About the IBM ThinkPad T20

Hey, everybody!

I recently acquired an IBM ThinkPad T20. The price was
right, and I have a laptop that runs any software I have
that I load onto it.

While looking at the ports on the back, I noticed one on the
left side. Above it is an icon of a rectangle, roughly
proportional to a TV screen, with an "S" and an arrow
pointing towards the outside of the box.

IIRC, that means the jack is an S-Video. But I don't have a
user's manual. Does this mean I can hook the laptop up to
something with an S Video jack, like a TV or a VCR, and view
the laptop display on that (I expect there would be a loss
of resolution)? I plugged a S Video cable into it, but
didn't do anything else. I only recently got the thing, I
don't want to do anything to screw it up.

Hey, Unk!

Thank you very much for the heads up. I appreciate it.

You're welcome.

 

What does IIRC mean please?
And...Is there a place that lists common Usenet Abbreviations...

Hey, netOBSESSIVE!

"IIRC" means If I Recall Correctly. I don't know any place
that lists them (some of them, I figured out on my own), but
the best way is to simply ask. Nice people like me will be
happy to tell you.
