Thanks Barry!! At least some young mind remembers.

Allen:
    Not knowing anything about the cable. Try the DB25 end to be sure...
Sounds like the transmit portion is working.

  Good day to ask deep questions.  Why is it called an afterlife, when
  really it's an afterdeath?  And why do people always talk about "going
  into the light", who have had near-death experiences?  Isn't that
  rather moth-like behavior for an ex-mammal?  What if that's really
some sort of spiritual bug-zapper?  And why do family-style restaurants
seem to think you'll want a sprig of parsley with anything, including
  pancakes at breakfast?  (My hunch is that it's probably a pagan
  conspiracy-type thing, involving a long-term grudge of some sort.)
