OT: Legacy PC cables

OK. My main complaint with them is the lack of any restraint, and no inherent grip, so messing about behind the TV set usually results in a loosened SCART plug (or two). The HDMI plugs stay put.

There's also the way that the SCART socket is completely flat, so it's hard to locate the socket.

On the other hand, I often don't have enough strength in a narrow gab to remove an HDMI cable as many need a good squeeze...

I could do it, by running my fingers over the series of holes then my finger nail round the outside to find out which way round it was.
