I don't know why people make boards without holes but here are some 
additional ideas...

3M mounting tape?   (Available at Walmart) Clips that hold the board by 
the edges?   Use Electrical tape to tape it to ??  Hot Melt glue ??

>>Gawd, have you guys tried to find
a parallel cable that is DB25 to DB25 male to female in any store
lately?

Ha ha.. yes I have.   Go into Best Buy and ask one of the sales guy for one....

you will get a blank stare and questions like.. what is that used for??
