Cables - for the proper cable to connect your Mac's audio output to a stereo system - go to Radio Shack. Get part $4202153. It is a Y adapter with a mini mono phone plug at one end and a pair of RCA phone plugs at the other end. (You may need more than 1 9-inch length.) To extend this cable, get Radio Shack's #42-2472. It's 6 feet long. You can use several of these if necessary.
