Very smart of you, BJ.
But not always an option for an apartment dweller like myself.
The two worst draws or power spike generators in a home are laser printer/copiers and old refrigerators. Don't know about the new ones, but probably still up there. When that refrigeration compressor kicks on, it creates a terrible spike. Most people don't have to worry, but if you are having problems with spikes, check the refrigerator.
It is more obvious with the laser printer/copiers, especially when the lights dim as you print.

& shapes.
My printers have their own circuit -- I got that put in long ago when I got
my first laser printer, an HPLJII that needed 8 amps all by itself and no
way it could share a circuit with two regular rooms with lamps & radio &
phone-machine & occasional hair-dryer etc. It's been very handy over the
years having that extra plug (4-outlet-type) available for temporary use
from time to time, as well as for the TV & DVR that are now beside the
printers (one of which replaced a tank-type copier machine).

I'm receiving them, and I never had this problem before. It just started.

Go to the Apple Store, online or b&m, and buy the adapter. It is $29. Just bought a second one for traveling.

Hi Hal,
The first thing you need to do is identify exactly what sort of video connector your MacBook Pro has (http://www.everymac.com is a good resource). Then it's a simple matter of buying an adapter. If your projector only has VGA, you'll need to do audio separately. If you're lucky enough to have an HDMI connection on your Epson, and a video port on your laptop that passes audio, you'll be in great shape and able to do it all with one adapter and one HDMI cable.

A TV and a computer are different. You can't simply turn a computer on and sit back. If you can't understand what a computer needs, hire LOCAL in-home repair and service. Take computer classes if you want to learn how to use a computer.

I'll have 10 GB of free RAM, and Mingler will start up and gradually consume all the free RAM until I get the "You're out of system memory, you must force quite an application" message. The only two fixes are to either reboot, or to force quit Mingler and reset sync services. It appears to be getting more and more frequent, too; used to it'd happen about once a week, then pretty much once a day, and now I go away for an hour and comeback to the "Out of system memory" message.

It sounds as if "Mingler", whatever that is, is not ready for prime-time.
