Well, he could make them, as I do. We were discussing that before.

A lot of us crimp our own wires because we've had to network our houses. You can't run wires with ends already attached through walls and floors.

Crimping them isn't a tough thing to learn. You go through a couple extra ends when you're first starting, but eventually you get to a point where you're making good wires every time.

Crimping wires is a lot of fun, I think. But yeah, like Brain said, it takes you a few tries to get an end to work.

You network'd your own house? There are people to do that stuff for you.

You could buy some little automated machine for it too, I think I'll get one of those.
I learned to do it manually a while ago, getting better at it (it works after 1 or 2 times of trying).

I actually do buy network cables, their quality is just better.
Crimping cables is just for when I need to fix one (when a connector got fucked up) or whatever.

Indeed, I found a nice sized bundle of network cables outside the university's... computer place, then bought a crimper and saved probably 5 bucks. :\
