The Infamous F#cking Mac Dongle
Apple knows exactly what they’re doing. It’s a monetary assault against the consumer, and a major inconvenience for the end user. Worst of all, it’s a necessary evil for mac users. How many times I remember struggling with and/or not having the correct dongle for my machine when making a presentation to my class, having to waste several uncomfortable minutes fiddling with the strung-together dongle collection each classroom had attached to a long VGA cable in order to accomodate the needs of every conceivable model of mac a student might have. Occasionally, when someone would show up with a new machine for which the department had not purchased the appropriate dongle, they were forced to delay or postpone their presentation, or spend 10 minutes switching machines. It’s called VGA out. have it. Idiots.
