Happy New Year Nicolas
Yes, I forgot to mention it. Dollarama now has over 500 stores.
The salesman at BB was thrilled at my showing him the $2.00 package with 1
meter hdmi cable. Cable was a lot cheaper than what he could get with his
employee discount, and it also helped him make some sales of TVs by his letting
the customer know about the two stores. Perhaps he reads our emails.
By the way, my computer outputs hdmi and not dvi. So I went hdmi all the way
with a 1080p monitor.
Now I am waiting for a device that will provide a tee connection between
converter( or computer ) hdmi output and the monitor hdmi, so that I could
record stuff of interest to me for later viewing (Not necessarily stuff I have
with Bell's Fibr service).
