To sort to some extent, I organize by size, from small to large, then set the list to thumbnail view, but I have some that are low resolution of a certain size, then higher resolution of another size, and some may have had the name changed, so I still may have dozens of duplicates. Is there anything, preferably in the way of freeware, that sorts images by what the image is? Something that will, for example, see a photo of a flower, person, or tree and organize the images, by identical flower, person, tree?

I need to make a "breakout box" to gain electrical access to the individual wires in a cable that has a male/female pair of DE-9S & DE-9P (often erroneously called DB-9) in the middle. I know that Pin 1 is in the longer contact row, but have examined the faces of male and female connectors and found no numbers molded in. On the DE-9P attached to the stepper motor there appears to be molded into the solder cup side of the connector next to one of the end pins in the row of five a small round hole filled with black paint. As of today, I don't have the extension cable with the mating DE-9S on it to examine. Is the black hole the Pin #1 indicator?

B 4 I retired I use to put the connectors facing down in a 3" vise and as I started to poke the wires into the solder cups I saw that they were numbered, on the inside of the shell. If you don't have such numbers look at some other connectors. -- Ron KA4INM - Youvan's corollary: Every action results in unwanted side effects.

Message-ID: <2516e2.58c86c35.46954db6@cs.com> Well, maybe the black dot means Ground. But this is one of the reasons why I take anything gleaned off of the internet with several grains of salt. There is a DB-25 or DB25but there is no such thing as a DB9, DB-9 or DB09. As shown in any catalog of the latter part of the last century, it is a DE-9 or DE09. It is of course redundant. That's just the way that the D-Subminiatures were originally set up. But anyway, thatks for the info.

Yesterday or the day before, I received an update/Security Fix notice that as best I can recall all applied to Microsoft Office 2007 and modules in it. And as I have done for years, when I got to a convenient time I let it install, and later as requested, rebooted the machine. Today, I needed to reply to a message that had come in to wa5cab at comcast.net and discovered that the function where you hi-light a block of text or whatever and then can delete, copy or move it no longer works. And also, clicking anywhere in a mail document does not move the blinking cursor there. The only way to move the cursor is with the arrow keys, one line or space at a time. Backspace and Delete both still work as expected. I ran tests on Word and Excel and they are not affected. Only Outlook. Does anyone have any idea as to what happened?
