Anyone remember the “there’s no step three!” advertising push that came with the G3 iMacs in the late 90’s? Having a half dozen dongles, adapters, and breakouts sticking out the sides of the box is one hell of a backslide.īeing able to thumb your nose at even one of those iDapters is a good thing. They swapped out the full size DVI port with a miniature proprietary one, and every year they swap a pin and move a plastic tab around so you need to buy a $30 dongle for your $1500 machine. A lot of people using those macs have started to use VoIP or recording tools for various reasons, and one by one they reach to the back of their machines only to find that a 30 year standard vanished when nobody was looking.Īpple does the same thing with video, too. There’s a lot of macs in the desktop publishing trade, and Apple has been throwing non standard 3.5 mm audio jacks (or no audio jacks, or an almost 3.5 mm jack for proprietary speakers that would fry anything else you plugged in) in to the mix semi-randomly since about 2002. It’s a workaround to a problem I’ve been bashing my head against for a while.
