New PC Cards for notebooks
So I read in PC Magazine that there is a new design on the tried and true PC
Card that we've all been using in notebooks for awhile now. Faster, but I've got to question if they are better. The thing that struck me as strange was that they have done away with the little plunger to kick out the cards. Now the cards just stick out "a little over half an inch" so that they can just be pulled out. Call me crazy, but isn't this just asking for trouble? I mean it seems like a card sticking out of the computer is just asking to hang on things. Or if you have your computer in your case and you drop it on that side, the card(s) will take the force of the fall, instead of it being more evenly distributed over the length of the computer case. Or maybe with the millions of computers out there on people's shoulders and the millions of times people walk through a doorway, maybe some of those cases hit against the door frame and, again, the force of this hit is borne by the cards sticking out of the computer. All kinds of things can and do happen. Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a really, really stupid design. Anyone else have a take on this? Russell Campbell |
