Yeah, that's the thing about Apple's pricing...I hate it, but I always feel okay - and never worry - about what I'm getting. But I'll look at that Anker stuff. I need to pick something up this week, ASAP. I need to ditch the one in my bedroom tonight, right now. It just looks like it wants to kill me as I sleep...
EDIT: I just now cut it into 5-6 pieces with some scissors, so I
can't use it and risk something happening. Amazing how it was perfect for nine-plus years, and only recently - within the past two weeks or so - seemed to pull apart/fray.
I'm kinda eyeing this certain black kittycat I know, wondering if
he had anything to do with that.
I'm down to one functioning USB-to-Lightning cable now, and it's connected to my MacBook. But that's okay for the moment. I'll snag another very soon (as in "by Tuesday afternoon/evening" soon).
