Back before the ugly reality of the Multipak Interface showed up, rumors 
were (and I hoped) that the thing would extend the whole profile of the

real serial port and maybe even a floppy connector.

On Valentine's Day, millions of men give millions of women flowers,
cards and candy as a heartfelt expression of the emotion that also
motivates men to observe anniversaries and birthdays: fear.
