When I bought my HP 1000 netbook it was stated that I could use vga out as HP advertises. I found out I had to buy a proprietary cable to get vga out. Then I find out they do not even make it. I had an entire PowerPoint presentation ready for 60 people when I found this out. The proprietary cable thing is bad enough(greed) but then they don't make it. I have netbooks from 4 other company's and they all use standard vga out. I will never buy another HP product and will twitter about it, put it on Facebook, Myspace, and every other social network I can find. I have found several people that want to pursue a class action lawsuit for this reason.
