Battery Cable

HI, I have an 05 which died electrically yesterday and would not start even with jumper cables.
There was initially plenty of clicking which made me think it was just the battery.
The clicking - and all other indicators stopped and it was just dead but for very occasional brief bursts of lights, sound and maybe a click or two, etc
I am guessing that the problem is the Pos. battery cable as this car is at 120,000 and never had it replaced.
There was no real prior indication but I do remember thinking that the starts were getting just a tad less instantaneous.
I am going to get someone to test the system today but they are non-Saab folks, so my questions are:
Does this sound like a cable to you?
Wasn't it just the pre-2001 models that had problems with this cable? (My previous 2000 did two of these cables in the 200,000 miles I had it.)
And lastly, is it a DIY?
Any input would be very much appreciated.
Thank you. Jeff
