[Gllug] Comic offer + Pine & Cable question

[Formi]

 Sorry then,

 it is like a DB9 or serial cable, the pins are in three rows, so you
 can plug it to a standard soundcard.

 By the way, it doesn matter how thouroghly I explain it, always somebody
 is going to come out with a "slightly unrelated answer".

 I don't have a really good command of English, but would you call a cable
 to a ribbon? I wouldn't.

 						Formi.

  If you want to kill a red ant hidden between millions of black ones,
  just get a napalm bomb able to cremate an area of about 3.1415 km2
  , oh! and do use it.

  If you manage to fail killing it, it is because you work for the U$,
  or maybe the UK goverment.

  ::WARNING:: IRONY

  If you are so pathetic, yes you are,
  that you don't see why you have to use such a logical method,
  do go to the Pentagon and ask the guys in the funny clothes.
  Do not be extremely careful, though.


  Formi comes from A Formiga, the name of my village,
  Formiga in the tongue of the land means ant.
  And my preferite color is red.


                                           RED Formi.
