I think my KVM switch is biting the schniztel. That’s the box that I use so that I can use the same keyboard, mouse and monitor for both computers.
I figured this out a couple of weeks ago, that this switchbox is the reason my monitor doesn’t work properly. I got that game “Gold Fever” a while back and when I got the new computer, I had to play it on the laptop since playing it on the new computer gave me a “frequency out of range”. For some reason, I tried hooking the monitor directly to the computer, not using the switchbox and the game played as it should (I think this game is why I wore out my left mouse button).
So, I started looking for a new switchbox. This one is old and more technologically advanced boxes are out there. I found one over on Amazon, a week later I get a notice “it’s on backorder”. This did not please the royal one. The royal one fired off an email to cancel the order. And then, the search began.
I did find a similar switchbox over at PageComputers.com, for about thirty dollars more. But I really wanted it, it was worth the money because it comes with cables and there’s a possibility I need new cables, too. I know one of the pins is missing in the cable I connect to the HP. It was around $85.00, the one at Amazon was about $55.00. So, I ordered it last Thursday. It’s supposed to be here tomorrow.
I kept checking the order status, because when I ordered it, there were only four left. Yesterday, I see that they’re back in full stock and the price has gone up forty dollars since I ordered mine! Wow! That’s a first. I actually bought something at the right time. How cool is that?
