Oh duh, I am sitting here looking at the VGA port. And of course, bonding,
not grounding, unless there is an actual ground connection. Now I need to
go look for a VGA cable that can be boogered up :)

On many (most?) laptops with a VGA port, the connector shell goes to the
chassis.
BTW -- it's not a "ground" wire, it's a BONDING connection. BIG
difference. See

Most of the material in this power point has been incorporated into
N0AX's new ARRL book on power and grounding.
