A Fond Look at Some Obsolete Ports

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the tab-a-into-slot-b dept.

StealMyWiFi writes "C-NET.co.uk has a lighthearted look at ten of the best obsolete ports. The biggest surprise is that C-NET claims Firewire is obsolete, which will come as a surprise to the millions of people worldwide who are still using it, especially in light of the story that Firewire is due to get a massive speed boost! The same could be said for their claims about SCSI, although from a consumer point of view I guess that's fairer."

      "goatie" will never be obsolete on slashdot, anymore than overlord welcoming.

    A list of obsolete ports? Seriously? People get paid to write this stuff?

    No wonder C|Net is laying people off.

    no applefags have been around for a while.

    protip: anyone who actually cares about the superiority of firewire over USB is an applefag bitter over the miserable failure firewire turned into

    too true. I can't believe they forgot vagina, though. They're smelly and gross. I'll take a nice tight asshole any day of the week (as long as there is a hard dick on the other side lol).

    there are service deprived pockets in populated areas.
    Wild guess - those would be areas populated by niggers?
