[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1837619, member: 402210"] I see that as part of the problem. Why should you have to do research to understand what's going on? Here's what Apple says about the specs on my 2017 iMac: •Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports with support for: [INDENT][LIST] [*]DisplayPort [*]Thunderbolt (up to 40 Gbps) [*]USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps) [*]Thunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI, and VGA supported using adapters (sold separately) [/LIST] [/INDENT] How is that anything but baffling? In the past most of the computer industry followed the principle that form follows function. You could tell just by looking if a cable was for RS-232, Firewire, SCSI, Centronics Parallel, etc. Now so many of them look the same. The ports on my iMac are on the back so it's nearly impossible for me took and see if there's a little lightening symbol, or not. [/QUOTE]
