Who chooses which ports make it, and which are shuffled off to the retirement home for the permanently disconnected? The fickle finger of gadget fate has left many inputs by the wayside, and they often weren't the worst. Here we've rounded up ten of tech evolution's most endearing and infuriating oddities, obsolete ports we mourn or bemoan.
Every day we plug something in to something else, and every time we think, "That's clever, and it works really well," or, "For the love of all things multi-pinned, why do they make connecting things together so damn hard?" So we invite you to join us in a celebration of sorts -- a wake for the world's redundant inputs.
