    What's the point of paying for a printer without the usb cable!? I finally got my photo printer and now I discover it needs an additional cable!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! I just ordered the cable, now I have to wait another three days! Hopefully it will come earlier.

    Yeesh - I would just pop over to the local Grand & Toy or wherever, and pick one up (they are very common).
    They cost $10 bucks but you can get a nice long shielded one for $20.

    I got a 10-foot one for six bucks with shipping. The problem is I can't drive and my parents were busy so I had to order online. I just don't want to go through all the shipping time.

    Yikes! I'm gettin' fleeced...?
    Ah well (the price of convenience) LoL :^)
    But they retail for $7.99 in Canada, plus taxes (15%)
    Hell, call it $10 bucks.
    So, you've got a few in a drawer, eh ddp?
    They are bloody handy and you know, you just don't need PCI slots in a PC these days - everything runs USB.
    MicroATX mobos/cases are great, they have 2 or 3 PCI slots (all ya need) but still tough to fit more than 1 or 2 HDs in 'em I guess...
    Regards

    Technology costs much less than before, I'm glad the internet was invented. The same cable at Best Buy would cost twenty-five dollars.
