Indeed, Happy Birthday to Mrs. Nishant, and, I hope she's getting combat pay for putting up with Mr. Nishant !

I hope the blighter has finally learned to make an omlette. IIRC, he's been promising to cook her a nice breakfast for several years.

I use my Wii with Component Video and am older Toshiba TV, and the TV won't display anything unless I power the Wii and the TV on at the EXACT same instant. This appears to be a common problem with older Toshiba TVs and component video, from the information I gathered from various forums.
Seriously, did they not test component input back then? How could they miss such a major flaw?

At least you have a workaround. I'm sure the official response is "upgrade to a newer TV set". In which case I would, except that Toshiba would be excluded from the list of contenders. And I'd make sure they know.

The TV was my Uncle's, but he gave it to me when he got a newer one. It works perfectly fine with all other inputs, and I don't use my Wii all that often anymore. I mostly use it for some Gamecube games I still like to play, like 'Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door', 'Mario Kart: Double Dash!', and 'The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures'.
We also have a 50" Sanyo HDTV in our TV room, and that thing is AWESOME! Amazing picture and sound quality, and all the inputs work perfectly. Although I guess most TVs are better in that regard. Wasn't all that expensive, either.

My guess, that TV works fine with the component video test source that Toshiba used.
I had a similar you-first deadlock with getting an old laptop to talk to a monitor back in the day.

I try to find a good reason to buy an external SSD drive.

Price. I picked up two 480's last week for $150 (US) each. I'm waiting for a hdd caddy/cable for the 2nd drive bay in my laptop. Once I have that, I should be able to clone the system drive and recovery partitions to a new SSD. The other one ssd is on standby for my home/office server when I get around to it. I could actually get away with only the single 480GB SSD but for now, I'll keep the old 1TB spinning disk in for extra storage.
I'll admit I was on a spending spree last week. I also bought a pair of 27'' displays, also for $150 each. To top it all off, I also got a GoPro Hero5 Session. It was a late Christmas to myself! 
Edit: Back to the point, I don't think SSDs are very popular as external drives since the usual purpose of external drives are to extend capacity or to keep backups. I think that's likely to change as the GB/$ ratio gets closer to spinners. I do wonder though if there wouldn't be a bottleneck at the external connection.
Also, the extra hdd kit for the laptop has arrived and I am starting the disassembly...about 15 screws to get the entire lower plate off.  Here we go!

I've occasionally run naked SSD's externally using a USB->SATA adapter cable (the one with 2 USB connectors for more power), even using both USB tended to be flaky so firstly I would suggest if jumping in today definitely go externally powered.
Even then using USB 3 couldn't get full speed so no real speed advantage over a spinner, particularly if you are looking for backup/archiving purposes. With external spinners starting to appear in the bargain bins also need the price to drop even more.
Sure, at the current rate spinners will probably be obsolete in 5 years, but we're not there yet. I would wait till better USB is settled and mainstream - early adopters too often burned on both price and compatibility.

I bought one last year (~1TB) to replace the HDD on my desktop. So far so good, the startup and shutdown process was very fast. I was also debating to get one for external use but it was too pricey.
Here one of the article I read before pulling the trigger.

FWIIW: I use one (500GB) to run virtual machines via Thunderbolt connection, when on the road at clients. Fast, doesn't get hot, don't have to worry about bumping it. Don't know if it is faster than a spinny-go-around but performance is very good and it is smaller/lighter. TB much better than USB 3.0.

I also use a SSD because of the ease to take everything when travelling - so easy to keep bulk data on my desktop via the 1TB plugin SSD then just unplug and take with me for use on my Surface when travelling - smaller, lower power, faster and more reliable than a HDD

For a given capacity, a HDD is currently cheaper than SSD. HDDs are also currently available for higher capacities. SSDs, on the other hand, are more resistant to shock (no moving parts), use less power, and are lighter than HDDs.
I would also look into the interface. Having a blazingly-fast drive doesn't help if the data cannot be sent to the computer...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

They're the floppy drives of the twenty-one-teens.
Get a couple of USB 3.0 SATA HDD enclosures, and you're set.

We installed external SSDs on our dev boxes a couple of years ago. It reduces boot time (from minutes to seconds). Then I switched to Linux and it stopped mattering (I hardly ever reboot).

I use an external 250GB SSD to store my development projects and other aspects of my development environment so I can quickly switch from my 5K iMac at home where I do most of my work to my Macbook when I need to work elsewhere. The enclosure supports both USB 3 and thunderbolt.

While everyone gives the good reasons for using SSD, they don't keep data that well if they are sitting unpowered on a shelf for a long time as backups. I don't remember the actual times.

I love anyone uses external SSD! Now is the golden age of 1TB SSD connected laptop.
