I've got a couple of the adapters veloce851 mentioned above.  They work very well and are handy little buggers.  But, the switch thingy on the cable is a little weak and the cable is quite stiff.  Had to super glue and epoxy cracks in one of mine.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Thanks all, enclosures are on the way.

New, non-HD question that doesn't warrant a whole new thread.

Good supplier for laptop parts? Main one I am finding for parts on an old laptop that needs a new power supply and keyboard is sparepartswarehouse.com but never done business with them. Anyone have past experience? Are their "compatible" listed parts good or something to shy away from?

That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.

I've bought a number of things from these people (online and in their brick store), and they are always a pleasure to deal with.  'Course, they have a limited selection.

Recently I've used both Newegg and Tiger Direct with 100% satisfactory results.
