PCs are PCs (sing along to People are People by Depeche Mode)
---------------------------------------------------------------
(NOTE: In this text the term PC is used in it's original meaning,
as Personal Computer. This should *not* be mixed up with
any particular popular, stone-age technology computer range.)
PCs are PCs
So why should it be
Yours and mine communicate so awfully ??
PCs are PCs
So why should it be
We cannot interface with the RS232C ??
So they're different makes
And they're different breeds
And different PCs have different needs
You tell me that you hate this
That I've done something wrong
But I've only followed the manual
So what could I have done ?
I just can't comprehend
Why aren't the bytes
At the other end ??!?
Help me comprehend
Help me comprehend
Now it's punching
And it's clicking
And it's beeping at me
I'm relying on the salesman's guarantee
So far no bytes have surfaced
Of the ones that I sought
They just takes a while to travel
From it's RAM to the port
