 As you may remember I'm in Toronto and there are several good surplus stores.
When I was in one today they had both ADB and SVHS cords for Can$2 (IIRC)
and Mac mice for $10 including some tearshaped ones.
 Shipping from Toronto to Kingston is not much so I could pick up what isn't available
in Kingston for you here. Contact me off-list if you are interested.
