Victoria, you might check w/ all the stuff that came w/ your PB.
Mine included (in the box):

DVI-VGA adapter (this is what you should need for the projector)
S-Video-Composite adapter (I haven't even opened that one).

I could see them maybe dropping the S-Video-Composite adapter, but not=20=

the DVI-VGA - it's too too commonly used.

Just checked Apple's site and:

PB Video accessories:
12" Comes w/:
Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, mini-DVI to VGA adapter

15" & 17":
S-video to composite adapter, DVI to VGA adapter
