Ok, so what I don't understand is how USB became a successful and
widespread standard if it's such a pile of shit. You and Tony,
accomplished hardware designers both, think it's crap. It's great that
it's a documented standard, but if the technology just sucks then why
didn't anyone call it out before it became an industry mainstay?
