The price you were given is correct. The software is free (you can get it
from TI's site). However, there are numerous ways to construct a cable of
your own for as little as about $5. For plans, check out:

But good luck, I couldn't get the simplest one to work :/ But I have heard
stories of other getting them to work. I have NO idea what I am doing
wrong. I couldn't have hooked it up wrong, it only consists of two silicon
diodes and some jumper wires :)
Ohh well. Anyway, you might want to try the Serial version. I think they
currently only have schematics for IBM-compatible tho. Sucks if you bought
a Mac I guess...
