I recently got a C84 and yesterday ordered a second C84 from Office Depot to cannabilize the inks and then use with MIS EZ inks and now need two USB cables. I hate to pay $20 each here in town, does anyone know of a cheap source for them. Thanks to all for the C84 info also. Nick [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I found that most all local sources for standard cables were horrendously overpriced (e.g., both CompUSA and Bestbuy charged $25 for a 3 meter Belkin A/B cable.) Then I checked at www.buy.com and found the exact same Belkin cable for $5.99/ea. So, even with an extra $5 for shipping the cable would cost much less than any local retailer. Actually, I got free shipping by adding in a DVD to make my order add to $25; so compared to paying local prices, I essentially got my usb cable plus a free "Lord of the Rings" DVD. Phil
