[SML] Macbook hdcp question

I've had good luck with using a cheap HDMI switcher which strips out the
HDCP. The downside is you're then putting your trust in a cheap HDMI
switcher. Had to use this when we upgraded our Analog Way switcher and
found out our projector (which is about 7 years old but still going strong)
wasn't HDCP compliant. We put in an HDMI Switcher between the Analog Way
and the projector and things work fine. We keep a spare HMDI switcher for
the day the one we're using goes down. WE're probably going to run things
this way until the money becomes available for a new projector.
