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-
