This is purely pc hardware orientated, any organic references will be reported to Fugley.

I despise the Vga port, it requires screwing two little bolts.

PCI Express has a lovely feel to it, but I'd have to go for RAM into the Motherboard for the ultimate.

USB sucks. Worst design ever :no:


Firewire or socket in the wall or ethernet connection is pretty cool.

Also SD cards/memory sticks.

USB sucks. Worst design ever :no:Do you get stuck trying to figure out which way around it goes too?
Goes this way? Nope not going in, better try the other way. Still not going in, better try the first way again. There it goes...

Never done firewire before so can't comment.

VGA is annoying because of the screws but usually i don't screw those in anyway :idunno:

Headphones/rj45 for me. :)

At least you can feel which way it's meant to go if you touch the connectors.

Connecting my sound system in a poorly lit room is a right bastard.

The wee mad mental symbol is always on the top.

So if you look at the cable and can't see it you've got it the wrong way up.

The slots are vertical in the rear of one of my PCs :ermm: :idunno:


It's always harder feeling round the back rather than just being able to slot it straight in.

There's probly a convention for that as well.

It's not something I would bother about tho' coz I would just connect a hub to the back of the peasy and put it on top of it. Or on me desk. I can't think of any good reason to plug and unplug USB devices into the back of a pea, see.

Well I'm not going to get all emo about it, I'm just saying that occasionally I've had trouble with them :emo:


Thanks for the tip about the symbol though :smilie4:

I like to slam that 3 prong into the outlet. Just gives me a fuzzy feeling inside.
