12 inch powerbook's vga port

[hugemullens]

I was thinking about buying a powerbook, either a 15(when the update comes) or a 12. I really like the extra screen space of the 15 but the portabillity of the 12. So i was thinking about getting a 12 and using my 17 inch display with it when i used it on the desk. I seen apples website and the have a dvi to adc adaptor. I know the new 12's have vga. Is there a way to hook the 12 inch powerbooks up to an ADC port via a vga port? Can i just go vga-->dvi adapter, then dvi-->adc?
Anyinput would be welcomed. Thanks

Yup, that's exactly what you'd do. You won't get the digital image quality, though. (And no subpixel font rendering)

Sounds like a lot of hassle to go from VGA to DVI to ADC. I wonder why they didn't include DVI output on 12 inch PowerBook. Other PowerBooks have one. Is it a cost issue? Or perhaps hardware issue (size of the hardware, etc)?
