Or people performing non-core business needs (janitors, shipping/receiving, security and various other support services). Any time a company fires X amount of people, they either downsize and also fire X+Y or they outsource and fire X then hire X number of contractors. The news never reports on the actual number of people affected.

Meh, it's not really news. When I worked there (Babbage's) we would hold onto every pre-order that was never claimed. We had some that back-dated MANY years and whenever the person came in to get it, we would refund their money or transfer the credit.

Money has been pissed away to bring broadband to the US because at one time people saw the utility of it. Someone is now looking into why it never materialized but the checks were cached.

Well there is the problem. Had they cashed the checks, instead of caching them, we might actually have some good broadband throughout this country.

VGA will live for a LOOOOONG time. It's great for many many reasons:

You can make custom length cables with RGBHV cable

It supports up (if not higher than) 1920x1080

If one of the legs drops (RGB) you still have a signal

It goes FAR greater distances than DVI or DisplayPort

You can pin covert it to run on various cables (CAT5, RG6x5, etc)
