DjBigMark,
it depends on your laptop. Most laptops have a vga output for an external monitor. If you have only this output, you probably could use a vga -> rca converter.
Most laptops nowadays have a tv output. This could ba a (yellow) rca or a svhs output (looks like a ps-2 connector). You could attach this directly to your projector. For the svhs, you will need a special svhs to rca cable.

If your laptop has an s-video output go here http://svideo.com/svideorca.html They have a cable that will be s-video on one end and rca on the other. It is also really cheap. $15 US fr a 25 foot cable. Or you can get a mulitchannel switcher or rf modulator that has s-video in and you can get a 24 foot rca on both ends cable from Radio Shack. This would give you the abilty to send video to your projector from multiple sources, from your pc or even a dvd player. Total cost around here for those parts ~$30 US. Good luck!
