Here is the deal...

I have an IBM LCD monitor that I got on the cheap from Ebay, the issue was that it didn't have a base or a power supply.

Big deal, I thought because the plan was to wall-mount it and I had 6-7 old ac adapters lying around that would have roughly the same voltage and amperage.

So, now that I got it in the mail, I find that it requires a 12v 3.0 amp adapter. Unfortunately, all the adapters I have that provide enough amperage are all 19V or higher.

Back to the question, couldn't I just add a transformer inline with the output cable to step down the voltage to a level that will not fry the monitor?

Where could I find a step-down transformer that small?

1 thing i dont get.

people always say he scored 50+games, and 81 because he ball hogs right?

i was watching Laker-Blazers game a few months ago when he got 65 points.

it showed a 50+ point history of all NBA history.

Chamberlian-30+ 50point games
MJ-6 50point games
Kobe 4-5 50point games
.....

Chamberlain scored 100 points, and took around 40+shots.


why is kobe a ball hog and chamberlain not?

why is he a ball hog for getting 1-2 assists less?

Why is he a ball hog for taking 2-5 shots more?

why is he hated cuz he is a rapist?
does that affect anything?( kobe haters only used this to stop jealousy of him)

This is the gun used by law enforcement and security. I had no idea that anyone with ID can buy one. I would think that to buy this kind of handgun one would need proof that it was to be used in a legitimate purpose.

If you have please describe the feeling,and if you were given a message.I did about 3 weeks ago,I was in bed sound asleep and a wonderful presence came and just sat on my bed,I thought it was my husband,as we were in a argument earlier.So I thought he just came to bed late.When I woke I said did you come to bed last night he said no.I began to cry because this was such a comforting presence.I do remember saying HI,and then falling back to sleep as this presence just made me feel comforted just by being there.I think it was an angel,a nice looking angel,I would never be so relaxed by it otherwise.Well know you all may think Im a complete nut case,for you who will not barate me I thank you in advance.

I understand that driving a lot of short trips is hard on a vehicle. About 10 months ago I started taking the bus to work and it is about 2 miles from my house to the Park & Ride. Recently, I have noticed that sometimes my car will not start and today I was idling at the red light and the car just shut off. I was able to start it again but I'm really nervous.

I was thinking of driving it longer in the mornings and afternoons but was curious if (1) that would improve the situation without taking it to the mechanic and (2) how long a trip is long enough. If it matters, I have a 2001 Mercedes CLK320 with approximately 84K miles.

Thanks in advance!

For me, I am always happy and smiling, I am known for my smile-- and yet I suffer from clinical depression. It runs in my family and I will have to take antidepressants for the rest of my life, or until they figure out a way to fix brain chemistry.

I've liked this guy for two months. Apparenlty he's liked me the same. My best guy friend has been trying to hook us up because he told me he likes me, but the guy I like says he only likes me as a friend. Well, not long ago, he admitted he liked me again. Then, my friend apparently told him yesterday i still like him, and he says he just wants to be friends. It's difficult cause my best guy friend's been at him for a little bit over a month and the guy won't budge. I can tell he likes me, and I still tell he can. Just this past Saturday, he had this idea of taking me to the movies and had his friend ask me. Sadly, she misunderstood me and thought I couldn't or didn't want to go. What's going on?
