T-Rex: You know how people who grew up in the 30s distrust banks (because banks kept failing in the 30s) and are therefore disproportionally likely to keep their money hidden in a sock drawer?
T-Rex: IF NOT, YOU DO NOW!!
T-Rex: I think I've got that with COMPUTER HARDWARE STANDARDS. When I was a kid we went through monitor ports like they were going out of style! SVideo! EGA! VGA! Heck, let's do component for a bit! No, DVI! No, Micro DVI! No, HDMI! And that's just VIDEO. You wanna discuss serial and parallel ports? BECAUSE I CAN DISCUSS SERIAL AND PARALLEL PORTS.
Utahraptor: But now video's a bit better, and just about everything else is locked to USB!
T-Rex: Is it, though? IS IT?
T-Rex: I know the SECOND I install one of those wall sockets with built-in USB power ports into my house, it's all going to change. I have 1930s disease, but for hardware standards!
Utahraptor: The new USB Type C standard replaces BOTH ends of the plug with a new design incompatible with the original 1996 spec.
T-Rex: ...So what you're saying is, I spent 20 years being wrong NOT to trust USB, but now I get to spend the rest of my life being RIGHT?
Off panel: No, that's not what -
T-Rex: BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING, BABY!!
