We went to four different stores (Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, and Office Max, in that order) looking for the video adaptor, and none of them had it. So I just got done placing my order on-line with Amazon.com. The adaptor is only $10.95, but the shipping is $8.64!
Oh well, I had anticipated spending $15 plus $1.05 tax ($16.05 total) if I found it at a store locally. So my cheaper on-line price plus the expensive shipping works out to only $3.54 more than if I had found it locally. I guess that's not too bad after all.
If I just would have ordered it on-line to begin with I would have saved several miles of gas, wear-and-tear, as well as more than an hour of my time. The only thing is, if I had found it at a store today, I would be using it now. They say it will be "available to ship" by November 21, and once it ships it will take 3 to 7 days. I think their "available to ship" date is just to give them a big cushion if something goes wrong, and will probably ship much sooner than that.
