Could someone explain to me what happens to the little doodads
that convert telephone-style cords to the DB25 connectors commonly found
on computer equipment?  We're not talking one lost sock in the dryer, here.

	It seems that every time a terminal gets moved, or an AMS, or even
an Arium, the cords and adapters vanish.  When we move an AMS, that's $30
in parts.  Every time.  I really don't begrudge the first set, and even
occaisional replacements seem worthwhile.  Cords are sometimes too short (and
then where do they go???) or are strung up on the ceiling and not worth the
effort to get down.  Fine.  I expect to relace line cords now and again, and not
always have a trade-in.  But who is collecting these things?  Most of them
have had at least 3 sets made, and some have gone through as many as 8.
By this time, if the parts are being saved for "if I ever get it back,"
I still shouldn't have to make connectors (cords, OK).

	A general plea:  Unless we are sending the box outside the company
(as in repairs), PLEASE leave all the adapters ON THE BOX.  We're talking
terminals, AMS, Ariums, etc.  I've been making an effort to screw them on
to help their longevity...and the attachment points have started disappearing
because they get unscrewed.  If you're giving up an AMS, for example, the 
connectors won't do you any good, and the next guy will really need them,
just as bad as you did.  So please, make my job easier, and yours, and even
save the company the cost of quite a few Xerox's.

	The soapbox is open.  Next?
