Macbook VGA adaptors at co-op
Posted by otterman on 5 May 2008
I bought a couple of mini DVI to VGA adaptors that MacBooks need for the laboratory projectors. Some student groups with MacBooks in my Animal Behaviour class turned up all eager to project their presentations but learnt that they needed an adaptor for the MacBooks. These are not issued with MacBooks but only with MacBook Pros.
The MacBook Pro adaptors are not mini-DVI so one group had to use my MacBookPro - I quickly setup a new user account as Yezdi suggested at the last meetup. Unfortunately the other group was presenting at almost the same time so when i went over, I found out they had opted to export their presentation to powerpoint for use on the lab pc.
Sacrilegious and all, so I bought two adaptors just now at lunch when I popped in to the pc co-op at YIH. Staff price was $36.10 a piece. Should have ordered from Apple Store instead ($32), rats.
Now to keep it in a safe place.

There was an article in Businessweek this week’s issue on the corporate world changing to Macs. Was interesting. Usually read the comments which are even more interesting.
