per Alex, "an adapter. serial ports. usb. yep, some sort of adapter but no idea what it's an adapter TO."

:D

It looks like a big all-purpose pack of adapters to EVERYTHING. Which is actually a really handy gift, if not an odd one =)

When I took it out of the box it looked like a small octopus, or very large spider. I'll have to see what I have around that needs adaption!

How're you doing??? Classes over? Enjoying life?

We think it's for charging cell phones (of many different types). Do we get bonus points if we're sad enough to guess which connector would fit which make of phone? ;-)

That would make sense, since none of the connections really seem to fit into my computer. I'll give you lots of pity bonus points if are indeed that sad. :)

But what's with the silver thingie? It has a battery inside. To charge a cell phone when you aren't actually near a power source?

Alex says a charger or power boost ...

That makes sense. Thanks! *waves to Alex*

Hebe, you are a genius! You can plug a cell phone to it and it charges without needing AC power. PLUS it can be a surprising bright flashlight!

*lols away*

No clue, sorry.

I'm sure the others are right. :)
