    Good news. Can’t wait to get rid of all the archaic cables and adapters I still have left from the bad old days. Really looking forward to using my existing C cables for a very long time.

      Back in the old days, we had mini-USB-B , USB-A, USB-3.0 A, USB-B, USB-3.0-B, micro-USB3.0, and a dozen other semi-proprietary mini-USB-B form factors.

      Before that we had all the D-Sub variants like DB-25 and DE-9 for both Serial and Parallel data transfer, DB13W3 and DE-15 for Video signal and dozens of other variants for all sorts of proprietary data formats

    I prefer connectors to be uniform, so that’s the good thing. I just feel the USB C is a bit fragile and not suited for all situations.
