- beloch"Plugging anything in required caution; a hasty, blind reach behind the tower to reconnect the keyboard could easily bend the fragile pins inside the round PS/2 connector, leading to delicate surgery with the tip of a pencil."-------------PS/2 connectors were actually not bad in terms of durability... The big plastic key in the centre prevented you from jamming it in with the wrong orientation and then twisting, which would have bent pins for sure. Finding the correct orientation was an issue however.PS/2 connectors can still be found on many brand new motherboards, which is a boon for those of us still using Model-M's.

The ramblings, and run-on sentences, are all mine.I think I want this at the bottom of the article, “Words are my own; spell checking and grammar tools probably had AI.”
