Targus PA075U Mobile Docking Station (USB 2.0)
$67.03
After purchasing a "PS/2 to USB" adapter (did not work either), I readily purchased this Docking Station for my laptop, hoping that this would bring a cure for connecting an EXTERNAL wireless Keyboard and a Monitor---WRONGGGG!

This waste of $36 dollars (cost+shipping)proved yet again that, eventhough we are in the 21st Century, there is NO CURE for combatting a simple "Ext Keyboard to Laptop" configuration that works!! (also, serial port is MALE and not FEMALE--you need a female port for connecting a monitor)

DO NOT BUY (you have been warned)

Teac GF-680 Console Stereo with 3-CD Changer, Turntable, Cassette Deck, and AM/FM Tuner
$349.99
What can I say about the teac gf 680 but "GREAT". It is a console that does everything. Everything well. I may even buy another.
