OMG!! I hit the MOTHERLOAD! I did in fact like, search and you can use SOME power cords for other computers but like, I found A TON of cords that looked, like well, potential.
BUT then I found an HDMI to HDMI cable in the cord box. The one the husband told me he did not HAVE. Either he was lying, or more charitably did not look hard enough. Something. SO INSTEAD, I was able to hook up my beloved pavilion HP 17 inch laptop to my external monitor and I am NEVER going back. I mean, I have a windows license! I have typed on this thing so long my fingers have slight grooves! I intuitively know how everything works!
I may not replace the screen (I might, the husband could do it cheaply) but I am definitely engaging in some preventative maintenance now.
I am NEVER using 365 not if I can help it. I might even reread my book and see how bad it is. It's been about a year. Thing is, I have left GOOD stuff I have read sit, and when I reread it, it is, as expected, good. So I doubt much will happen. Heh,
That squirrely little man. To be fair I was going
through a lot of cords but I was travelling EVERY week and that plugging in and unplugging constantly it's hard.
Okay maybe not for other folks but my fine motor tremor was especially bad then.
