I can't believe the looks I get lately when I want an electronic part
from Radio Shack.

You try going into PC-World and asking for a DB9 female to female gender
changer. I'm surprised the twat who I asked didn't call the police. Now if
I'd asked for a big shiny laptop I'm sure they'd have been all over me
whilst drooling at their mouths and making snorting heavy breathing noises.


There is no such thing. The proper name is DE-9:

"D" is the connector type.
"E" is the shell size.
"9" is the number of positions for pins, no matter how many are
installed.

People ASS U ME that if the 25 pin is a DB connector, so is the 9
pin.


The SVGA monitor most people use has a HDE-15 connector

"H" is "High Density Connector"
"D" is the connector type.
"E" is the shell size.
"15" is the number of positions for pins, no matter how many are
installed.

Yes, there are idiots selling both of these under the wrong name, but
if you contact any manufacture or OEM distributor it will show that you
don't know what you're doing.
