MacVoices #22078: Glenn Fleishman Takes Control of Untangling Connections (1)

In his newest Take Control book, Take Control of Untangling Connections, Glenn Fleishman takes on the extremely challenging task of making sense of the many cable, connector, and function standards that you may run into. From the multiple variations of USB to DisplayPort and HDMI, Glenn gives us tips and tricks on what works best for what, and how to determine what a given cable is capable of. (Part 1)
