Lose??? The power cord for a big monitor???

The mental gymnastics are amazing! Good old Stevie J., now turned zombie, still projecting the distortion field.

Not trying to nitpick. Probably the parent might have meant “forget it when moving the monitor to a different place”. This happens more often than one may think once you have trashed the box the monitor came in.

But yes, it is a bit strange to write it down as an “advantage”.

Well, they are a dime a dozen now, because Apple hasn't gotten their paws on them fully :-)
