Curious asked:

Have a mouse that came with old computer. It worked on the “serial/parallel” port.

My laptop has USB ports only.

1. Is a connector/convertor available that i can plug into the USB port and connect my previous mouse with the connector at the other end?

2. how much would it cost?

3. Am I better off, simply just, buying a new optical mouse (or any other mouse) that directly connects to the USB port?

TimBrazer.com asked:

I have an HP Pavillion DV6605us laptop. I have an external monitor VGA port. I would like to connect my 19 inch LCD monitor, with a DVI-D port to my laptop.

My laptop only has a VGA port to connect to but it does have open USB ports. Can I use a DVI connector to USB connector to get digital signal or would this product from eBay do the trick located below. I am not using multiple monitors just the external LCD. Will it give me digital signal?
