Problem with the old days was that you had to have each kind of cable for it to work. No LPT cable? No printer. Hope the cable is long enough. There was no integrated Bluetooth or wifi, or even a dongle available. Haven’t even gotten around to the internals yet with ribbon cables for floppy or IDE or whatever.

Yeah, USB-C comes with it’s own issues, but I much prefer this to the bin full of cables, plugs, wall warts, connectors and adapters that were kept on hand just in case.
