Dont act surprised Froggy. I wouldnt put it past apple to have so weird plug to prevent people using other brands

Below is from the Mac Mini web page, seems like if you want to use anything but an Apple monitor you have to buy an adaptor, hmm, HDMI not listed, but shown on back of unit which is a step in the right direction. Why does Apple stubbornly insist on trying to gouge people with proprietary parts, when perfectly good standards the majority of people use are available. Micro-USB is used by like everybody for mobile phones and instead of using that, they make you use their Lightning connector for the iphone 5.

And the iPad 4. And they're not compatible with older stuff like my iPod, so you have to buy a lightning to 30 pin adapter

FUCKERS - It's really tough being an Apple fanboy these days

You mac fans need to help my friend at work. We booth were given blank checks to get new computers. He got a top of the line macbook pro and a big cinema display. I got a a HP Elitebook Mobile Workstation with a docking station and dual monitors. He uses the thunderbolt connector as sort of a pseudo dock. It is kind of messy with all of the cables out of the back of the monitor. I like my dock much better - tons of ports and an extra hard drive inside. He has never been able to VPN into our server when on the road, but I have never had a single problem with access with the HP. He frequently can not access the server when on the network - again I have never had this problem. We both use 3D drawing software at work. He got one of those mac touch mouse things and it is very awkward to use. I use a Logitech MX518 - perfection. He frequently has to use parallels to use software that is only made for Windows because it is not available for mac. I have never had a need to use two operating systems because all of our work/productivity software simply just works on Windows. You guys really need to help him. I see a lot of that spinning beach ball thing and I have to constantly give him files on a USB drive or upload files to a FTP site for him when he has "network problems".
