I'm amused.

Yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I needed a new data cable for my phone - the cradle I've used for the last couple of years doesn't connect properly anymore, though it does fine for charging purposes. So I went online, and ordered one.

A moment ago, I received an email telling me the item has now been shipped.

I'm happy to be able to say that I was already aware of that, since I've already used it to backup the phone.
