Well, I'm happy to say that I did get myself a VGA cable, and was able to get my laptop connected to my television. It was not quite as simple as I'd hoped, mind you!
First I Googled "how to connect my laptop to my television" and low and behold, I found a YouTube clip to help me out. All you needed to do, it said, was connect a VGA cable from your laptop to your television, and you were all set! Well, the cable got connected, and nothing happened. Thanks to Ryan, my niece's husband, and my "go-to computer guy," all became clear as he walked me through the settings display in properties. I don't know much about properties and settings, and am usually afraid to try something for fear of completely messing up the computer.
Which brings to where I'm at now...I needed to make some adjustments in the settings, and now I have done something that has, in fact, messed things up. But that's okay. I'll get Ryan to help me again. Eventually, I won't need the help, and that's what's so great!
In the meantime, I was able to watch some of the U2 concert on my television screen, which was great. But it didn't start until midnight, so needless to say, I didn't watch the whole thing!
