I know this is Hacker News and we love startups, but I think this would have been a better licensing play. It just doesn't seem like its a good business model to try and create all these adapters for old and new laptops. That compatibility list looks really annoying from a consumer standpoint. Its just not something I want to look up every time I'm in the market for a new laptop.
