[QUOTE="operaman, post: 766301, member: 65381"] Here is the bottom line: Apple is a premium company selling you a premium product at a somewhat inflated price. You are paying more for better quality. However, they do not see fit to include a necessary adapter as part of the accessories? I do not mind paying a bit of a premium for ergonomics and design, as well as usability for the OS. It just seems a tad cheap of them to add to their bottom line by making people who are paying for their premium product shell out extra on top of that in order to have the full usability and expandability of their product. If this were DVI, mini DVI, or vga, I would understand not including any accessories as these are fairly standard. However, when implementing a new standard like this it would make better sense to include the adapter. Count me in as one who would rather pay the extra however much upfront and have the cable or adapter included. It saves a lot of hassle and Apple still gets its bottom line. [/QUOTE]
