Wait. Is it not normal to have a box full of extra cables and adapters just laying around?
<.<
Hello, fellow IT person. One day we will need the VGA cables we have saved.
I had to drop everything and move halfway across the country on somewhat short notice (long story) and could only take what fit in my car. One of those things was my random cables/adapters box and it came in handy almost immediately. No one will ever convince me to throw that shit away.
