Are they as snappy?
Gee, let me hop into my wayback machine so I can go back to last Friday to buy a cable on its first day on the web site.
“Retroactively available….” ??? Give me a break.
I thought that snappy was an undesirable quality for cables.
Now let’s hope they have an ACD to Mini DisplayPort adapter for less than a C-note.
Displayport to VGA?? Woohoo. These guys are going to be doing a lot of business. I’ve been waiting since day 1 for this
So, did Richard Dawson start this company?
@AppleJack,
You’re in luck! They have one available for a B minor.
I’ve bought from these guys in the past, they have some of the best low-cost cables for just about anything.

This is the problem with text – I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or serious.
Seriously, MiniDisplayPort to VGA should be a big seller for them. There are still too many video projectors in the conference & training rooms of the world that still use the 25 year old VGA connector.
When I upgrade my lappie, I’ll be buying one of those adaptors.
> retroactive to last Friday, Mini DisplayPort adaptors are now available for purchase from the company’s Web site…
Retroactive? So I can get into my DeLorean and go back in time to “last Friday” and order one. And it probably got delivered yesterday. Whoa! I’m already using it…
Also available at cablestogo.com. Along side reasonably priced HDMI cables.
But do they have an HDMI to DisplayPort so I can hookup my PS3 to my future iMac 27″?
@ken1w
Uncharacteristic display of humor, and nicely done to boot. I got a good laugh. Thanks.
Sadly, a DeLorean’s gull-wings wouldn’t open well in my cluttered garage. I think I’ll just use my Time Capsule.
Also have purchased a great iPhone headset cable for desktop conferencing that works great! Good company!
… And, yes, thru are snappy and very reasonably priced for what I was after.
Monoprice was my source and I’m happy with the quality of the adapter and the pricing. http://monoprice.com/
Nice to see more Mini DisplayPort adapter options becoming available back then—those early MacBook and iMac users really needed better connectivity choices. For anyone still using older Apple hardware or setting up multi-monitor rigs, it’s great that compatible adapters are still easy to find. Surprising how useful these older ports remain, even with all the USB-C and Thunderbolt gear out now.
