Hello geeks, 

I'm have a video presentation challenge that I'm a little in over my head in.
It's for a dance performance at Motion Pacific in a couple of weeks and the piece calls for video to be projected on two opposing walls of the room. 
I'm wondering if there are any video presentation geeks out there who can provide any of the following:

1- Advice. I have a macbook pro and qlab that I will probably be running the video from. Is this a good idea, or do I need a bigger machine? 
2- Apparently a Matrox TripleHead2Go is in order. Anyone know where to rent / borrow / steal one? Or 
3- Another way to run two screens off of one computer. (I'm pretty sure it can be the same image on both screens)
3 - I expect I'm going to need a bit of vga cable, perhaps up to 100'. 

I greatly appreciate an help that is out there. Feel free to reply offline. 

Chip

If you are Chip Street, I'm sure Galvin has some kind of solution for mirroring out to two monitors. It looks like I may be too late but you didn't give a specific date.

Thanks, 
I actually just daisy chained the projectors. It mostly worked, except for a little bit of a weird scan rate issue, Which eventually I pretended I couldn't see.
