Oooooooh, that Steve Case. I didn't realize he and Ed were related. Creepy.

And then there's Suzanne Case, Ed's sister, who is the head of the Hawai'i Nature Conservancy. These Cases, they're everywhere.

so is that real estate company: Case...related to the Cases as well? Gee with a lock on internet, government, big business, real estate and lobbying groups like the Nature Consevancy...that is spooky! All we need now is a Case as a Bishop Estate Trustee and a federal judge!

If they don't then I'll be ordering a $5-10 cable from newegg.com..

Don't order small stuff like cables from Newegg. I believe you'll be forced to ship via UPS/Fedex 2 day, which is about $20.

Look for a mail order that will ship First Class Mail.

Like www.svc.com

You can order a SATA cable from them and have it shipped for less than two bucks (make sure you select First Class Mail).

Or go to Personal Touch Computers and get one for about $8.

Re: [rant] Computer stores on this side of the isle

if you're order a lot of stuff from NewEgg then the shipping isn't so much of an issue. By the way I did notice that mistake on Steve Case and made reference to it a couple posts down

Yeah, that too. But I was directing my comment mostly to those folks who are stuck on neighbor islands and don't have a well stocked computer store to go to. A company like www.svc.com, where you can order a $2 SATA cable and have it shipped for $2 (which is even cheaper than if you live on Oahu and can drive to Personal Touch), can save them lots of time money and hassle.

Nah, I take the bus, then walk down to that side.
