DVI port problems

Sep 12, 2006 6:30AM PDT

I got a mini to DVI adapter with my MacBook. I have a VGA monitor but got a DVI to VGA adapter with my Mac Mini a while ago, so I figured I could just use that. However, the mini to DVI plug will not fit into the DVI to VGA adapter that I've been using for the past year. Is this likely a production problem or is there something that I am not aware of?

You were going to use an adapter plugged into an adapter!?

Just pony up the ante for the adapter that you need. It will work first time, guaranteed.
