It indeed sounds like you have "Extras" as the backdrop. To select an
icon, tap and hold until it highlights. Then you can use the Folder
button to store it in a different folder, or the Envelope button to
perform actions on it (Delete, Beam, Mail, etc...). ALso, to clarify
the cable types, din8 is a round connector for old Mac serial ports,
while DB9 is a roughly rectangular (trapezoidal really) connector for
old PC serial ports.
Hope that helps,
