Good Rick, nice going... you got the joke.  Wow, you're becoming a real nerd
these days.  Pertty soon you'll graduate to geek!  Allow me to assist in your
development.  The word UART is an acronym for Universal Asychronous Receiver
Transmitter.  This is the device that packages and serializes a parallel 8 bit
byte into a serial 10 bit byte and vise versa. The UART is the interface
between the processor and the modem or serial device.  Frankly speaking, UART
here thanks in part to your UART.  So, the next time someone says, "Hey, UART?"
You can respond with, "Nope.  My name is Rick."    -Art-
