The 4 way cable is what I'm asking about.  The one cable end they don't 
show in any detail is the female USB.  I have to assume it is a female 
*micro* USB connector.  If it is, then great, it all works fine.  I've 
just not seen that particular type of connector before, so I assumed it 
was the larger USB type.  I have since googled and found a number of 
cables with micro female connectors, so I guess that is what it has.  I 
was not able to find a better picture of the 4 way cable when I searched 
on that to verify.  No big deal, I just didn't see how it would work out 
is all.  Now I get it.
