Ever seen a VME chassis stuffed with SMBs and fiber channel, and ethernet net cards? Or do you even know what an SMB is, much less fiber channel? Would you have to look up what "FDDI" means? Oh, that's right... you are still stuck in RS-232 mindset. Do you have ANY USB devices? DO you even own an ethernet patch cable or have a machine with an ethernet port on it?
