That's genius, David.  So the fact is, you CAN just use an ordinary A/ 
V cable, but Apple have switched the cables so that you have to plug  
the red cable into the video socket and the yellow into the audio.   
Just so they can sell overpriced proprietary accessories that do  
exactly the same thing, but with the cables switched.  That's a cheap  
trick.  I like Apple less and less every time I read about them, and  
I used to be a huge fan.
