Tis true, according to the great reference source, Ebay, amazing what
people will look up for a cable etc. that is going to sell for few bucks at

BTW While talking to someone at the Santee swapmeet, he told me the origine
of the word dongle is from the person who invented the short adapter
cables, Don Gall. Fact or fiction?
