    I lived with my gfs family for a short while. We had a breakin one day (South Africa). Guys tried taking a pc that was plugged in with a vga cable. They couldn’t get the cable off (the thief probably never used a pc in his life). They left the monitor (heavy crt type) with the vga cable, with a piece of the motherboard still attached to it.

      Africa sounds terrible. You live in a place where they still use VGA? How horrible.

        Don’t you go knockin my VGA. I still have about 10 in my attic. If nothing else, they’re great self-defense weapons. They could do some serious damage to a potential attacker and probably still work after.
