    Perhaps I when I when I first heard the word "dongle", I instantly thought of "dangle", but either way, it's a great word to apply a little sexual innuendo to. Some previous posts, just to prove my point:

    Backwards compatible

    My girlfriend knows my dongle can handle her 12 Mbps input, though at times I have no choice but to shoot my packets too early. Backwards compatible my ass.

    Would have been that hard to add a ridge on one side or something,

    All mounts are the same? I only wish. If you've ever been in a situation where it is so... erm.. loose that it "feels" like you can stick 2 mini-A plugs into the mount, then you know what I mean.
