It's part of the messiness of progress enabled by a free marketplace.
Good thing you got some social assistance with your problem!

Ah, I’mdisillusioned. I thought Mac was the supreme being that did everything
the right way. Seems they have issues also. Yes, consistency and
standardization, always the problem.
Will take connector that DOES work to Apple store and get proper one.
Thanks for the suggestions!

It all depends on which model you have.
Apple in their "infinite wisdom" has 3 different ones on offer that I know of,
depending on when you bought it.
My MacBook Pro was the first model they bought out, and my adaptor is similar
to the ones for PCs.
Now my wife's MacBook Pro is 2 years old, and I had to buy one for her, and it
is a VGA to mini plug due to the smaller size of the connector socket in the
laptop.
NOW, I heard that with the new models, they have changed the connectors
yetagain. :o( WHY DIDN'T THEY LEAVE THEM ALONE. If it ain't broke, DON'T fix
it !!!!
My advice is go to an Apple dealer with your laptop and do what I did, try them
until you find the one that fits.
Their descriptions of these plugs ARE very confusing to say the least.

OK all of you Mac Heads. I need a DVI to VGH adaptor to connect a Mac Book to
a PC Projector for Grand Rounds
A dizzying array of adaptors on Amazoncom. They all LOOK alike, with different
discriptions. All say “for Macbook )
Yet, how come so many? I already ordered one I thought would work and the
female end to connect to the MacBook is too large
Don’t wish to go down this road again. Why not just one generic size?
