At a user group meeting last Saturday, I showed up to find that the monitor
I had brought had a bent pin. It promptly broke off when I tried to
straighten it. So I pulled one of those hotel sewing kits out of the car
and one of the other guys slipped a needle into the hollow pin, snipped to
length, and it worked fine for the whole meeting (and probably is still
working fine, only he took it home to replace the connector.)
