Curse Pentax!

I have a Pentax Optio S5i digital camera that I think is great. However, the one huge flaw in it; it uses some wacky USB cable that isn’t the standard mini USB. Today my wife wanted to transfer pictures and it took me over 2 hours to find the stupid cable. I have tons of mini USB cables, but only one that fits the Pentax. My wife was able to transfer the images using a card reader, but the OCD part of me needed to find the cable. If it was just a mini USB cable, any old cable would have done and I wouldn’t have cared. What is wrong with standards? I’m happy that Motorola is moving to mini USB on their cell phones for both charging and data…if I lose the cable, no big deal.
