      I like the PS/2 cause it came out years before the PS2

        Esata was so cool for like 3 years. I needed more storage fast on my laptop and having only USB 2.0 that was a no go. But esta gave me one cable to an external SSD that did power and fast data.

        Then USB 3.0 came out, then UASP, and that completely killed esata.

      I feel old. The only one of those I haven’t ever used is that AAUI port. What’s that for?

        The AAUI was an adapter that allowed old-world Macs to connect to ethernet

        Super old school Apple networking IIRC

      I’ve never ripped the head off of a DVI or VGA cable. Unlike HDMI and DP, then they put little grippy clips in em now so you got to get the needle nose pliers out and rip them out the port too.

        Personally I just splice all my cables into MIL-DTL-26482 connectirs, that way I know they’re solid!
