That is correct.

But ---    "It's Bruce's PC" is still correct.  "It's" is not possessive in this
        example; "Bruce's" is possessive.

The PC has a cable .... "its cable".

[My apologies to all for the extended grammar lesson -- this is really
  straying off topic.   I just double-checked to make sure it's not the
  "other" (usually off-topic) PMMail list....]      [ .....^^^^^^^^  correct usage]
