Awesome, I'll sort a box out for the next time I'm heading @kurbeco 's way unless I'm told otherwise in the meantime :D

If Kian (or someone else) doesn't have a more pressing use for it, then I'll package it up for you.

Do I know anyone who fancies a Belkin PS/2+VGA KVM switch? (I think it's three port, but I'd need to check). @kurbeco or @kianryan perhaps? If not, it'll go in the e-waste bin.

I'm currently sat here trying to work out if I can justify not eating next month, it's *glorious*.

Choosing to standardise on 'lightning' though would be effectively the same as saying "Tesla's proprietary power socket is fine and hasn't broken much, let's use that rather than the CCS which everyone else in the industry is using" though. Sometimes "Widely used" is better :/

Do you remember how bloody awful it was on video games which had "bik" encoded cut scenes which were dark? Things like the 7th guest were full of really awkward banding/coronas.

I am of your era, and also find the banding and coronas in dark areas on modern video codecs to be very annoying.

I used to say "When the country has had enough" but I no longer think the country *can* have enough. I believe we're now fully Stockholm-Syndrome'd into believing we enjoy the punishment this government hands out. UGH.

I'll admit I've not bought one in years (my current one is a t480) so I had no idea what the model numbers are these days :/ I hope it works nicely for you.
