Hi All,
Just something I noticed the other day. A school that I help with radio
stuff (yeah I'm a ham) just got a set of the new lego mindstorm bits and
pieces. And I noticed their little serial leads seem to use the same almost
RJ-12 style connector with the offset clip.
They look mirrored to me:

What a shame.
