Ultra-Size Botheration (USB) memory key
An Electronic Stewardship program here in the centre of the known universe.
Sent by postal mail ($1.25) a letter thanking me for taking part in their survey about electronic waste.
Also a memory key with the PDF report which is, surprise, surprise, available for d/l from their web site!
The key casing is one-inch wide, so it bumps all other USB plugs aside.
Also I suspect it won't fit into the backs of half the other computers I have lying around here ...
The jury is still out on the strongly-magnetic plugs which hold the wooden cap to the wooden casing.
(sigh!)

You're telling me you don't use the ~3" long USB 'extension' cables, the refuge of all right-thinking individuals when your PC-makers puts the USB sockets too close together?

Oh. THOSE things. I've seen them in bins near the checkout counter at Staples, now I think of it. I always thought of them as "cables to nowhere".John Gray wrote:Here you are! (Buy some today...)
I might pick up one of those 4-to-1 USB adpaters. That'd come in handy. This HP Aspiron notebook has only 3 USB sockets.

My main reason for using short extenders is to limit physical wear on the two ports I have on my monitor which I use for frequently and quickly connecting camera, phone, etc. I can afford to replace the cable, but would rather not lose the port altogether!
