Oh, please, don't start me on Radio Shack. I've never shopped there since I walked in, asked to be pointed at the RCA cables, and got grilled. What was I connecting? What did I mean, it didn't matter, show me the cables; I might have the wrong things in mind, so what was I connecting? There's no need to take that tone with me, I'm just trying to be helpful and I can't help you if you keep saying that it's none of my business, just show you the cables. Now, what equipment do you need these for? You mean a DVD *player* right, not a DVD burner? Really? A DVD burner? Really? Well, these cables will work for DVD players...

Dude, when I walk into an electronics store and ask for RCA cables, all I want to hear is "over there, back left corner."
