Thanks for the tip on MPT. I bought the connector and extra Cat 5
cable and even a LG CD rewriter. I hope that it will work on my Mac
with toast. I expect it to work. Then I bought some Magnotta wine just
south of there. Hopefully it will work too.

I am setting up a network and need a 100 ft piece of cable to go

but works fine.
If you have a local Deals store, check them out for possibilities.
Some of
the stuff they carry (and they carry a bit of everything) isn't 'that'
great but the CAT-5 cables I've bought from them have been great, and
inexpensive. A second possibility might be to either buy a
female/female
coupler like the ones for extending phonelines (Futureshop had them for
$7.95) or getting two wallplates and wiring them together (not
pretty but
very much on the cheap.)

firewire DVD enclosures)
MPT Computers on Midland south of Sheppard has the connectors for 3
bucks plus really inexpensive cable. Check out their site at
mptcomputers dot com
I've been using them for years, good guys although not Mac people.

Great, they are good guys up there. This is off topic now but there is a
fantastic (and incredibly cheap) bakery on Midwest which runs just west
of Midland. Called the Montmarte Bakery. Flax loaves, all kinds of neat
buns etc. A whole strudle is 3.20 or so, probably 24 inches long. Very
cool spot.
Glad you got your cable.
