As the quote from bash.org went
Though... Isn't the ethernet exactly the width of a USB A, and taller, so it actually goes in. I think I have made that mistake.
One of my first jobs was working at a computer store. We had like 40 pre-made desktops, connected to monitors. They all had windows with a Flash file at the desktop, that would show slides with special offers and such, if you start the file. Every fucking morning you would turn all desktops on, take a wired mouse, plug it into the first machine from the back, open the file, unplug, next...
I can still plug stuff in at the back pretty fast, but back then I had a muscle memory of the expected height of ports, and for popukar case models I didn't even need to touch anything at the back. Plus, I still find it comfortable to use my mouse while standing, with my leg as a mousepad.
The most useless skill I perfected
