    Am I missing the connecting holes on my VGA plug on my 90000t?

    Last night I went to give a lecture using my laptop and a LCD projector that the organization I was lecturing to provided. I went to connect my laptop using their VGA plug and I realized there there was no where to "screw" the plug intothe laptop to make a tight connection. Shouldn't there be a couple of screw holes on either side of the vga connection socket to secure the plug?Am I missing them or is this standard?

    My Acer Aspire 5672 doesn't have them either, the thing with vga is that if it gets unhooked while working it doesn't hurt anything and you can just plug it back in, you don't really need the screw holes they are just to make it more secure, but if you plug it in and don't move it around you will be fine.
