I have to make a conscious effort NOT to go in there :) Still, a road trip
isn't necessarily a bad idea -- I find they are a good source for cables
for all sorts and case screws as well. And for all you even close to
Ottawa area listers out there, they have Mac to VGA adapters for a
ridiculous price (3$ I think). Compusmart sells the same thing for
20$. Something no vintage Mac user should be without! (YMMV:These things
won't work with all macs -- they just play with the sense codes, and
convert low density 15 pin to high density 15 pin. They don't do the sync
on green conversion or the 60 Hz conversion like the Griffen stuff, but
they work great for LCs, my 6100 on both the AV card and with on board
video, and they work on the Duo as well.)
Shameless plug. Sorry -- well, not really :)
