New lecture hall, but Mac incompatible

My room at A Famosa, Melaka, originally uploaded by Haris Abdul Rahman.

I replaced my colleague yesterday for a lecture and as usual, I was planning to use my MacBook Pro. Got everything ready, connected the Mac to the projector ... then walla! Nothing happens. What?

Fiddled around, tried another connection port, still no joy. Hmmm! Never had this problem and the old lecture hall were all accommodating. This being a brand new one really disappointed me. I'll make a note to sneak in one of these days and check the connection. Even the technician stared at me blankly when I asked if there has been any issues before.

Did the decent thing of converting the file into powerpoint and use the auditorium's computer. The slides came out all wonky, but that is better than nothing.
