HP (a bunch of price-gouging, time-wasting arseholes) deliberately used a non-standard part to trap customers into buying something from them (and only them)... and then promptly stopped producing it, claiming it was "obsolete". Tell you who is obsolete. Fucking HP. I'll never buy another machine off them again as long as I live.

One of its short comings is the port used to attatch your "netbook" to a larger moniter. Unfortinatelly this cable adapter, known as the Hp Mini VGA Cable is almost impossible to buy. If you visit the HP website, this cable is labled as "Sold Out---Check back soon"<br>I hope I can buy this cable soon, either that or I will obtain eye strain!<br>-Hp Mini user,<br> -Theodore Klein The Hp Mini Netbook has been a great computer with a nice key board and sleek design.
