Subject: Is USB Really a Conspiracy?

Since serial ports are so near and dear to our hearts
here at B&B,  we're highly suspicious of any ploy to
eliminate our trusty serial ports and replace 'em with USB.

But knowing that perhaps I'm not 100% objective on this 
subject, I searched the Internet.

And man, I found all kinds of stuff.  The Moon Landing 
Hoax, Area 51, and all kinds of government coverups.

The world is a very dangerous place.

But as we learned on the X-Files, The Truth is Out There - 
Somewhere.  It is my mission to discover the truth 
and publish it for all of you.

The truth is:

Yes.  USB is a conspiracy to destroy RS-232.

In fact, evidence suggests that the government may 
even be involved.

Now that we've established that fact, the question
remains:  What can we concerned citizens do about it?

Well the first thing you can do is, when you have a PC with no
serial port, you can add one quite easily. My Edgeport is a cool 
tool that does this for you:

What do you think?  Is USB a conspiracy?  Is RS232
a threat to money and power in Redmond and in Washington
DC?
