Connect laptop to projector?

Have an 18 month old Macbook and just got a Toshiba TDP-S8 projector. Need a lead to connect them. Projector has a 15 pin RGB d sub socket see here for spec.. http://www.projected.co.uk/toshiba-tdp-s8.htm So can I just buy a lead or do I need an expensive converter box and best place to buy one?

    You just need a standard male-male D-sub monitor lead. There are plenty on ebay.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

    Thanks, one of those came with the projector but my Macbook doesn't have a similar connection, it has a "miniDisplayPort".
    EDIT It has a Mini DVI port, will look for a lead.
