And try asking for a "DE15" at a distributor whose stock database has
only "DB9", "DB15", and DB25.  I think I accidentally procured a DA15
when what I asked for was a DE15, and the helpful assistant probably
"corrected" my "mistake" and figured I obviously wanted a "DB15".
Next time I went there I tried "VGA connector", and that worked.
