Re: "The power lead approached the PC..."
Yes, the universal power and data adapters were almost a status symbol. My set(s) plus the huge collection of data cards and adapters for them made for a large case. PLUS the many connectors for desktop PCs and the hard drive cradles, meant my work backpack actually had its own gravity field.
Then the huge laptop with room for all the connections and forensic software plus data recovery kit…..
I loved and hated it but a couple of times when it got used “unofficially” to recover lost files that really mattered, then it got lighter. It was also a totally wicked forensics kit but that was never as nice.
Glad I’m out of the game, even switched to IOS to ensure I’m no longer a real techie.
