Save your cables.

I’ve been spending the last two or three hours trying to set up the Wii so that it runs on a dedicated computer monitor.  Two shopping trips, three calls to various vendors, multiple consultations of the Internet, and a good amount of swearing later, a magnificent kludge was constructed… with one exception.  No way to plug in the speakers.

So I turn to my wife.  “Honey,” I ask her, “Have you ever seen this kind of connection before?”

And then she went unto the Box of Cables And Cords That We Have Accumulated Over The Days of Our Lives that she maintains, rummaged through – and lo! There was the cable I needed.

Save your cables.
