There are 24 pins on one, and 4 on the other, plus there is a real RS232 
port on the back. It does work as she has xastir running with a GPS just 
fine.

The connector is labeled as a printer. Next to is are two USB ports, the 
usual type, and she has two firewire connectors on the other side, along 
with a couple more USB ports. In the back is a port to dock the thing 
and I suppose it would have audio in/out, mouse, keyboard, video and 
charger/power. Not sure what else it might have.

Just because you say I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching us.
