Thanks,

yes thunderbolt adaptor.

I bought one for my air (2012) mine was £6 on ebay unofficial of course.
I also bought a genuine lan and firewire adaptor at £40 each at apple store.

Thanks! And to go to my DVI monitor, does this look right?

yeah thunderbolt to what ever you want.

my adaptor has thunderbolt to VGA/HDMI/DVI all in one.

but only use one at time and VGA is limited to 800x600 or 1024x768.
no limitation on HDMI or DVI

I also use a generic amazon 3 in one thunderbolt to vga,dvi, hdmi
HDMI and dvi are the same and vga is analog.

@Fabmac That is same as I have but bought a cheaper one on ebay.

tested all the outputs via my 2012 air, all good other than VGA which is limited.
but DVI to VGA adaptor should take care of that.
