yeah, people still use vga ports. and when you plug a projector into them, they actually work the first time! even with linux! crazy, i know. until recently, in our office, the only person whose laptop always worked right with the various projectors was the guy with linux on a thinkpad. macbooks with displayports were reliably unreliable. now the situation has reversed, because the new thinkpads are x1 carbons w/ displayports, and for the macs we hooked up an apple tv to the projector and use AirPlay, which behaves much, much better than the cable ever did.
