    I have an old VGA box. It switches between monitors. You connect your pc vga out to the box vga in. Then the box has VGA out A and VGA out B.

    You turn the knob to send your display either to monitor A or B. Well, the knob broke in 2005.

    On the floor was an old key that had no use. The key has holes at the top as a design choice. These holes are in the shape of a triangle.

    I noticed the holes fit perfectly onto the metal rod that turned the broken knob. So I took the knob off, put the key over the rod, and now I don’t need to use a wrench to turn the knob. The key is the new knob.

    Well…not new. That key has held there since 2005.
