[QUOTE="Gern Blanston, post: 1123682, member: 65319"] I was reading the manual for my new MBP, and I don't see any warnings like I did in the past stating that the computer should be turned off when connecting or disconnecting cables. Is this no longer a concern? In the past, I thought that the circuitry could be damaged if cables were connected while the power is on. Specifically, I was connecting my mini display port to an external monitor. It would be nice to just plug it in without having to shut down first. [/QUOTE]
