Talkback The costs of roaming are nothing short of the biggest rip-off of all time, even more so when companies that are owned by a single entity like Orange and France Telecom and Vodafone and Telecel, and charge each country operation as if they are not...

Currys £16.99 USB Cable Rip-off.
Blog Comment What I am confused about is that you went to Curry's for the cable and are surprised at the rip off price! This unfortunately not new. Printer manufactures started cutting out the USB cable form their printers for a while now to save on costs.

Blog Comment Thanks David, I did realise that I was paying through the nose but really needed to get the printer up and running to make sure its Mac compatible claims were real - especially as I just upgraded to Leopard.

Currys £16.99 USB Cable Rip-off.
Blog Comment So have finally heard back from HP over why they are opting not to put USB cables in with their printers anymore. No surprises in the answer apart from the last bit: HP's experience is that there is no one cable suitable for all customer...

Currys £16.99 USB Cable Rip-off.
Blog Comment I spoke too soon - here's the response from DSG/Currys: First, can we apologise for the delay in replying but also that you were not properly informed at the time of purchase that a USB cable doesn't come with the printer.

The Great Roaming Rip-Off
Talkback Please tell me that the UK didn't figure this out just recently! There's little difference with getting 'a great offer' by phone or regular mail only to find out later that you're paying ten times as much as need be if you cared to look into...

Currys £16.99 USB Cable Rip-off.
Blog Comment The worst cable has to be PCWorlds £14.99 USB 1.1 Cable that was a rip off, they only stopped that recently. One of the biggest problems with Dixon group stores such as curry's is that they make very little money on the PC sales on average...

Currys £16.99 USB Cable Rip-off.
Blog Comment I know that I shouldn't laugh too loudly, but I have not seen a printer or scanner supplied with a USB cable since 1999. The fact that it's written on the box "USB Cable is NOT included" just maybe we need to start sending six year-olds in to buy...

Currys £16.99 USB Cable Rip-off.
Blog Comment My personal worst example of this was from PC World, who wanted to charge me £15 for a VGA-DVI adaptor. Maplin sell them for £10 but even that seems excessive given that you can pick them up on eBay for less than a fiver.

Blog Comment In front of me is a retractable 75Cm USB cable. It has AM-BM for printer, AM-Mini 5P for cameras and MP3 players, AM-AF so that it can be used as an extension cable. It was expensive - 99p from my local 99p shop!
