Nothing Wrong with Fast and Cheap
So, work with me here: since my laptop uses Apple’s special mini-DVI adapter (which I’ll be honest, I’ve never seen on anything else), I need a little converter if I’m ever going to use it with an external monitor. I could either buy a VGA and/or DVI adapter from Apple for $19 each (and yes, I would need both since the DVI one can’t then have a standard DVI-VGA converter attached), or I can hit up my favorite store Monoprice, buy the exact same thing, and have them cost about $6 each. In addition, I threw in some $1-2 ethernet cables and a couple $3 HDMI cables because, you know, the need for one of those might arise spontaneously. The thing that surprised me the post was that Priority shipping was actually cheaper than standard shipping (both USPS). Perhaps their accountants have a reason for this, but I decided that saving a little bit of money was worth getting my items a couple of days quicker.
The only thing I had on my calendar for Wednesday is now no longer present, and since I don’t see anything coming up that would add a meeting, tomorrow is effectively my last day to actually go into work this week. I might, maybe, possibly have an office tomorrow, but I still need my admin to tell me exactly where it’s going to be. The fact that I have one does me no good if I am unable to find it.
