Yep...these go together

I had an intern. I can kind of tell he just somewhat in it because parents think it is a good direction for him to do "something/anything" Was kinda annoying to deal with him at times. All he had under his belt was some kinda intro to network+ course. Like it doesn't even get you to a point where you can pass the exam. You just get some kinda certificate of completion from the school. So whenever I wasn't actively teaching him I put him on organizing some equipment. He showed me a cable while he was organizing and was like

Intern: "This is VGA right?"

Me: umm no thats serial. We don't see em that often anymore kind of before your time. It kinda looks like VGA tho so I can totally understand why you might get it confused."

I didn't really think much more of it at the time. I was busy putting out a fire.

Fast forward today. Intern is gone, im correcting some of the chaos that was in his wake. I find a box of cables labeled "Serial/VGA Cables"
