Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, Bruce, no one had answered the question I
asked.
I did not request purchasing advice. In fact, I indicated this was not
an option. Do you guys not READ the question before you answer it? And
how on earth do you know what is "cheaper" for me? You don't know what
other options I do have.
You make it sound like I've asked this same thing more than once, when I
have not. I asked a question about months ago about audio, and was told
to buy something else. I asked about the darn IDE cable I have,
following up in a thread about a SIMILAR question and instead of your
NONONO in the first place, I was told to buy something else.
If anything related to the Dock II is off-topic for this list, then make
a rule about it and quit yelling at people to buy something else.
