They had like 2 in stock (it's suppoosed to be "Computer City" dammit) and when I asked if they had more the guy tried to offer me a crossover cable . "It's not the same thing" says I . "Yes it is" says he . I went to Dick Smith's up the road . i went to HN's once to buy a 1gb SD card for my parents digital camera - i asked the guy and he said "hmm well thats gonna be hard as then dont make SD anymore!!!! but ill go out the back and have a look for you" 15 minutes later he pops out with a 256mb stick of PC100 SD RAM for a desktop Computer and then swears it will work with the camera i just walked away from him and went to another guy working there and walked out with the correct item 5 min later :lol:	MAC_H8ER (5897)
