I hate mini-DINs. They're OK for portable systems, but they don't belong on
desktops or anything else. They're hellish to solder. And it gets even more
stupid when they're used for AC adaptors. It's just a way to force the user
into using only branded transformers. Especially if they're only using two
pins on the mini-DIN.
