[mythtv-users] Why do they put VGA on Mother Boards anymore?

[Richard Bronosky]

I refuse to believe that the average consumer is building PCs from
parts purchased through newegg.  But the fact remains that putting a
VGA port on a mobo does not increase your market, it limits it.

I will say, though, that the PS2 comparison is a valid one.  It
doesn't justify anything though.

Also, I don't think Dell sells anything with only analog out.
