Is it my imagination, or was this more usual in the early days of USB? 
I seem to remember seeing nothing but A-A cables for a while.  I was 
giving an old PICkit 1 away a while ago, and the guy I gave it to (who 
was fairly out of the loop) had never seen an A-B cable before and 
thought it was not "real" USB.  I explained to him that it was in fact 
the standard and he didn't seem to believe me.
