    Punk ass kids like me appreciate the context lol.

    God love universal. Work in a retirement home and have a bucket full of old cords for when running into older hardware.

    I took for granted how easy it is to connect things now.

      Things are much easier now, to be sure. The Mac/Amiga IOMega Zip drives actually used SCSI (pronounced “Skuzzy”), which was much faster than the parallel ports we Windows users got. I hope you don’t have to deal with SCSI! The myriad connector types were a pain, and the termination was no fun.
