Thanks for the tips on the monitor: Oddly, I ordered the part again from dell, they overnighted it ($2 part, $5 shipping) even though I asked for 3-5 shipping (hooray!) and the thing worked perfectly. So china is 0/2 on parts right now, their adapter didn't work on the same setup the dell thing did (note, dell part "made in china"), and the male-to-male (eztransfer) usb cable was sent male-to-female. Perhaps they were trying to conform to US law.
Last night I went to exposure for the first time. The music was pretty good all night, though boy do djs fuss about the mixing. I could give a rat's ass about the technical mixing skill - give me someone who transitions the music types any day. Nice people, but a small crowd (I hear that was an anomaly. The basement though - GORGEOUS. I love love love the entire place being dark and looking like a cave. However, I can't avoid noting the horrible smell - I got a headache it was so bad, reeking of sewage. I can't talk around it, can't put a positive spin on it, can't...just can't. It smelled horrible and there was no escape. Incredible that a club owner would put such effort into visual presentation and blow it all with a foul stench. It's hard to drink when everything smells so bad. Still, usually the night is upstairs and I suspect it would smell better, so with the music pretty good and the nice crowd - that may be one for repeat business. Especially if I get to work from home again the next day.
Yeah I got nostolgic - got stuff on my mind, got distracted by other people's stories. Not in a bad mood at all, just kinda like staring at tv and going "wow." Sure I'm vague - I'm also tired, so sue me.
Soon I'll have buck rogers hooked up and never hear this screaming fan machine again.

Agreed 100% on dj stuff.
