percivalTeh Shiny (i.e. a USB 2.0 enclosure for my notebook hard disk drive) arrived today after ordering it yesterday. Unpacked, unscrewed the HD from its notebook case, plugged it in - WORKS.
I think I will call Teh Shiny Gimli, in honour of the way in which it galloped to my aid as quickly as it could.
Note that yesterday @ PCWorld, the friendly sales staff (HAH) claimed that they did not sell kit to connect Laptop HDs to desktops, that such kit wasn't available via retail, and suggested that I should try eBay.
The MORONS.
