Re: Serial!



Worse, my school has all the computers networked but the network
connections LOOK like phone wires :P I can imagine an 'average' highschooler
jacking his 9600 baud modem into a 10mb/s ethernet connection (assuming s/he
can even get the plugs to fit!)
Also my comp apps (read lotus 1-2-3 for dos) teacher calls the network we
use (the network wires that is) telephone wires!
We call him satan tho so :P
