Inexpensive TV Cables, etc.

My brother-in-law uses this place to buy tv and stereo cable for way less than one would have to pay at Best Buy, etc.:

One HDMI cable that I recently bought at Sears for over $100 is only $10 (plus around another $10 shipping) from these guys!! (I couldn't wait to get these cables delivered as I just had to get watching my new TV, but next time...)

Both my brother-in-law and a friend/neighbour have used this site for their techy needs, and both report good quality stuff at ridiculously low prices...just goes to show how much we're getting ripped off by the big retailers on this kind of necessary accessory.

Helpful (???) hints...

My all-time personal favourite tip: When you buy your Tim Horton's coffee to go, instead of just tearing the plastic lid tab up and locking it into place...you tear it up, the same, but then you push it back down into the opening you've just created to drink out of. Why? Well, once you've had a sip or two, that now-submerged inside tab helps prevent any coffee from splashing back up through the drinking hole!! My second favourite tip is to create a perfect book-mark by cutting a triangle in the lower corner of an envelope, then slipping this triangle over the page in your book that you wish to go back to.
