Today I went to Radio Shack to purchase the required parts to down load tunes in my Predator. Power adapter and USB to Serial cable is what I was going to purchase. Power adapter was $18 but $39.99 for the cable. Get real. This is one of the largest robberies since Jessie James held up a bank. I think Radio Shack and Diablo are in CO HOOTS on this one as they are the only ones in my town ST Louis that has the cable. I can't understand why Diablo could not put a USB in their predator to start with. I am well aware I can use an adapter but am tired of things that require you to purchase just one more little OLE part. Yes, I am venting. Today I need it as I am tissed big time. Am I alone in this or are there others out there that are also tired of being ripped?

I ended up buying the predator for $340 including shipping, and getting the cables for free. I figured that would be easier than working with Radio Shack.
