Now I understand why I sholuldn't have brought the miniHDMI adapter

Today I experience flicky connection problem when using the mini HDMI to HDMI adapter with my EeeSlate.  That's when I realized that the adapter doesn't work for one important reason: it makes the connection too heavy.  It might work if I kept the connection stay plugged forever, but for my case I have to plug and unplug it all the time.  And that's why I should use the super long HDMI to mini HDMI cable in the office instead.  Glad that I got both so that I have this plan B wih me.
