local stores carrying serial cables???

[frogster]

Due to a job change and windows NT, I need to get a serial cable.

There's no point waiting 2 weeks and paying $10 for shipping if a local store carries ipaq serial cables.

Do circuit city, best buys, compusa carry these cables?

I've seen, and bought the serial cradle at Compusa

thanks for the tip. they have the serial cradles at a compusa nearby. but, they don't have the serial cable. I prefer the cable over the cradle.

Just2cool did a conversion from cradle to cable.....do a search for it and it is probally doable

You can check whether something's in stock at your local Compusa buy searching on their web site... just go about like you're going to find it and buy it online, and then you'll see a link for "Check" ... enter your zip and you're golden.

In my experience, this is relatively accurate.

BTW... is it me, or did CompUSA get a clue all of the sudden? I'm finding their stores well stocked with relevant stuff, and their sales staff even knows what it is!

I think I'm just going to order the serial cable from amazon. I need to get a cable from them for my samsung phone anyway.
