However, it won't fit onto the much fatter top edge of LCD monitors. Logitech do not do a monitor adapter, unfortunately. Has anyone come across any form of adapter (hopefully rather more…

DSLR camera repair
I have a Sony Alpha A200, which I bought almost two years ago on the recommendation of the good people on this board. My plan was to use it for a few months while I saved up for a Canon 5D, then sell it. Sadly, that didn't happen. The pound tanked, camera prices went up and I lost my job.

Completely Useless Information
I came across a site (http://ns1758.ca/winch/winchest.html) that said an IBM 5 Mb hard disk drive cost $50,000 in 1956. At $10,000/Mb this got me wondering about the 640 Gb HDD in my Dell. In 1956 a 640Gb HDD would have cost approx $10,000 per Mb = $10 million dollars per Gb = $6.4 Billion for 640 Gb. Hope the sums are…
