[sudo-discuss] monitors on the wall are underutilized / trying to write a blog post with instructions

[Jake]

almost all the monitors we have go to a VGA connector.  most computers 
have one still, except macs which require an adaptor.

the large iMac can be used as a monitor with macs (and maybe other 
computers) which have a "thunderbolt" port.

the large screen monitor has an HDMI port and many modern PCs (and some 
macs?) have an hdmi port.  we can put hdmi cords on other monitors that 
have hdmi or DVI ports (can easily adapt DVI to hdmi)

i think we should set up the big screen on the wall to be a remotely 
controllable computer, so ppl can play programming vids on it.
