    Decades of dongles

    I was diving in my dongle box today, looking for a Firewire 400-to-800 adapter, when I noted how many Apple-made dongles I have accumulated over the years (though they represent a small percentage of the overall dongle population in the aforementioned box). These dongles or adapters worked in...
