Oh but I do.  I just do not have a clue as to what it says, in many 
instances.

This is an example of what you would like me to read, to Wit:

    * Carries audio, video and auxiliary data.
    * Signalling method: Formerly according to DVI 1.0 spec. Single-link
      (Type A HDMI) or dual-link (Type B HDMI).
    * Video pixel rate: 25 MHz to 340 MHz (Type A, as of 1.3) or to 680
      MHz (Type B). Video formats with rates below 25 MHz (e.g. 13.5 MHz
      for 480i/NTSC) transmitted using a pixel-repetition scheme. From
      24 to 48 bits per pixel can be transferred, regardless of rate.
      Supports 1080p at rates up to 120Hz and WQSXGA [1]
      <http://www.hdmi.org/consumer/faq.asp>.
    * Pixel encodings: RGB <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB> 4:4:4,
      YCbCr 4:4:4 (8-16 bits per component); YCbCr 4:2:2 (12 bits per
      component)
    * Audio sample rates: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz,
      176.4 kHz, 192 kHz.
    * Audio channels: up to 8.
    * Audio streams: any IEC61937-compliant stream, including high
      bitrate (lossless) streams (Dolby TrueHD
      <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_TrueHD>, DTS
      <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTS>-HD Master Audio).

I flew hi powered, modern, state-of-the-art aircraft for twenty some odd 
years.  I was Maintenance Officer of squadrons with 600/700 Officers and 
Enlisted technicians under my command.  I needed to know what "THAT" 
button was for, and how to spell "On" or "Off".

And I am still alive and still not able to interpret the above sections 
from the Wiki.  HuH? We ain't all Engeneers!  Shows to go ya that we 
need you :-*
Thanks for the info on the HDMI.
