> I'd like some kind of reassurance that USB Type-C is going to last more than a couple of years... heh https://xkcd.com/927/ It's unrealistic to expect a single connector/cable/pinout to last for a very long time. Throughput requirements increase, size constraints do too, mechanical designs improve, etc. Even Firewire or SCSI looked like "the last interface you'll ever need" 15 years ago. |

I've got MagSafe for power, Mini DisplayPort for video out, Mini TOSLINK for audio out, and USB 2.0 for everything else. There's a gigabit Ethernet port if I want it, but otherwise 802.11n works just fine.
I'd like faster data transfer (not that any of my peripherals are USB C compatible yet), but otherwise I don't really understand what the massive fragmentation of connector standards does for me.
