WTB in Ontario: USB 2.0 adaptor for PCMCIA

So I am picking up an ipod tonight and my laptop only has USB 1.1 (I bought it just before the USB 2.0 craze)...does in anyone in Ontario area know where I can pick up an adaptor for my PCMCIA slot cheaply?

I looked at Staples, Futureshop and Best Buy and the cheapest one I found was 39.99...

Or is anyone in the London/Toronto area willing to sell me one they have sitting around? I'm in London this morning and TO this afternoon...

Thanks!

I think Vistek has a store in Toronto and CameraCanada I believe is in London. Henry's is in both places.

You will pay more for a pcmcia card at a camera store. There are several stores on Dundas in Mississauga that have inexpensive pcmcia cards.

I agree, it makes more sense to go to a computer store...I was hoping someone had one sitting around that they could sell me.
