Technology

I bought a digital monitor cable for my parent's new monitor and for the first time in a long time had to look something up that was hardware related. I of course know what a VGA cable is and even HDMI and high-speed HDMI for newer connections, but had no idea how many differences existed with DVI. (Kind of the mid-point connection type between VGA and HDMI time-frames). DVI-A, DVI-I, DVI-D, and single or dual link. I had no idea there were differences.  I swear--you blink and everything you know about technology is old hat.
