An elegant port for a more civilized time
Hokey connections and ancient peripherals are no match for a good dongle at your side, kid.
Nothing civilized about no hot plugging. Had to restart the whole damn computer, if the cable was loose or out at startup.
Quote joke referencing Obi Wan Kenobi...
If you only knew the power of the hot plug!
I know hot plug is a path to many abilities some considering to be unnatural!

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t hot plug for anyone. Yes, even the very skilled.
I loved the PCs that had Ctrl + up as a shortcut to flip the monitor orientation. I think it was a Dell thing?
