MicroSD: one good ripoff deserves another / Iomega Zip's

24 Apr 2012

...
   When Office
Depot charges $15 for a simple Chinese-made 1m USB A-B 
 cable, I'm not surprised.  
 Last I checked, Best Buy was still selling Monster brand gold-plated
 1m USB cables for nearly $30. 
The local 99 Cent store sells A-B USB cables for ... wait for it ...
99.99 cents. (PRICE GOUGING!)

That said, I wouldn't trust them much for data transfer above USB 1.1
speeds, but they work just fine for charging, and my AlphaSmart dana does
very well with one for USB HotSync.
