    I need one of these urgently, anyone in Cork know who'd sell them? I've looked in the Argos catalogue but nothing there. Don't get the cable confused with the printer one either.

    Any computer shop should have stuff like that.

    be sure to shop around though, a friend of mine got his wallet ripped outta his pocket by PC World for a Cat 5 patch cable (€15 !!! WTF)

    Belkin and Sweex are two brands i can think of who would do those cables, and you will find them in PC World, but ahve a look around, maybe Compustore might do it a bit cheaper (dont laugh, its a weird been weekend), or check online, elara or komplett might have some

    We don't have a proper computer store in Cork though :( The closest is Sound Store and that's a pile of poo. I'd buy it off elara for €10 but they're looking for another €9 postage! Will take a look in the city.

    That's odd - Compustore Sandyford don't (never) do those A to mini-B USB cables.
    I thought we all had common stock
