I bought some A/V equipment from a Canadian retailer called PrimeCables. It turns out that they won't accept any returns on "opened" electronics. I have no idea how someone could determine that the electronics they ordered weren't the right items without opening the packages, but there we are.

If anyone in Toronto wants an HDMI splitter from Monoprice let me know.

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
