I'm not sure how or why but things like winmodems and other
'win' only hardware used to annoy _everyone_. Apparently I'm in
the minority of people who will try a different OS now and then
or use legacy software just for the nostalgia 'kick'? 

From a purely mechanical standpoint I have found many computers
where the USB connectors are loose fitting and I never liked
the looks of the USB connector since I first saw one. Looks
like a glorified telephone RJ-11 connector to me (and I hate
those as well). 

WC> Jay intervened and made that unnecessay :-) 

One down, many to go.
