I was surprised the other day that the HDMI->VGA adapter/converter that I
had connected on Noelle's computer died.  I thought that these sort of
things last forever.  (It turned her screen to a bright yellow, which was
interesting.)

I was only using the adapter because her other computer was connected to
the HDMI on the monitor, but, since she is no longer working, she doesn't
use that computer any more and I just connected the HDMI to HDMI.
