Clearly you have all the answers.
Secondly, I have been researching this....for over a year.
The absolutely overwhelming arrogance to say something like this in an apparent "help site" is unbelieveable. Clearly, you are a god and there is now answer you can't refute. I am a lowlife idiot, humbled to your ever presence. Then, to unsubscribe me...clearly, you decided the discussion, you decided the answers, you decided how much time I've spent and DONE. you are done. Wow. It's just another $29....it's just another $30, it's only $100 a month....only only only only....

I get that you're frustrated, but you're letting that out on the people who actually helped you find the correct adapter. Would you rather we told you that your old adapter is fine but in a bad mood and maybe it would get better over time? We're not a support group for your anger at the economy. We're a bunch of people around the world who invest their spare time helping people like you on a technical basis.

You've paid nothing for support on this site.
You got the correct technical answer.
Do the math.

whatever. I also didn't need to be lectured to that I didn't do any research and had no idea what I was asking either. As volunteers it also doesn't give you the right to talk down to people and assume they are all a bunch of rubes either. And, regardless of whether I'm "angry at the economy" I also didn't need a diatribe that pointed out that I was an asshole either.

I don't think anyone said anything about orifices.

See, to me and many of us it doesn't seem like rocket science to find out about those things. Of course I understand that not everybody just knows these things, and there are a lot of things that I myself still don't know about the computers I'm using on a daily basis.
I guess the thing we're trying to say is that it's NOT about any intensive research you should've done. Rather that you've actually done the _right_ thing! You've come here before buying the new notebook and got the answer that, sadly, your previous adapter won't work.

I guess after that, the discussion just kinda went the wrong way. That's why I always say people shouldn't use metaphors. Don't talk about cars or digital TV or anything else, it only leads to people talking about a whole buncha different things that kinda exactly _don't_ fit the original discussion.

Btw.: I just came across this article on MacWorld.com that addresses a couple of things about how Apple's moving forward constantly, leaving some stuff in the dust. It doesn't mention the video adapters, but the story is the same, of course. -> http://www.macworld.com/article/1395...marcheson.html
