My question is, "Who the Hell in the Head Division decided that the
PLUS RS232 port would be a 25 pin FEMALE instead of MALE?"  Not one
computer center in the area had a female-male gender bender.  I
ended up going to a ComputerLand to get a 6 ft cable with the appropriate
connecters on the ends.  I suppose that one of these days I MIGHT
actually enjoy having a cable that runs to the equipment as opposed
to have the equipment have a cable that run to the computer, but I
doubt it.
