Haha! Techknight, it's the 'A' configuration that's ingrained in my mind:
g/w, g, o/w, b, b/w, o, br/w, b.
Reverse the green and orange pairs for 'B'. 'A' on one end, 'B' on the other makes a crossover cable. I seem to remember the 'A' configuration was slightly superior for riser (vertical) runs, but I suspect that textbook was written in Cat-3 days.
