Thanks Dan, Joe and Bob.
This has been an education. As you can tell, I'm not a techie, but I do understand English and I must say that the various articles and reviews that I read prior to doing this have to be the sloppiest pieces that I have read in a long time because they all stated, or inferred, that USB-C was more than just a different tip and that it combined legacy USB and TB (excluding TB3) into one, "do it all" port. I wouldn't even call it journalism. Welcome to the world of click bait, I guess. Best wishes for the coming year.
