off topic! internal usb port breaking

[Wade Smart]

You mean something like (visual example) the VGA port that screws into the 
monitor so it doesnt come out?


Anything you plug into the port would have the same problem as there isnt a 
way to physically secure it.
I did watch a video showing how you can use (on newer hardware) bluetooth 
to connect to say harddrive
for data access - which removes the cable problem. But then you having to 
find accessories that have that
ability.

hi.


Got an off topic question.  Laptop with a single USB. Just realized the 
cord, and therefore the usb device could break/damage the internal port!!  
Which would be a pain.


Anyone seen any kind of device that would attach to the "laptop", and 
prevent internal/external port damage?


A quick net search has only turned up port blocking devices.. not the same 
thing!!


thanks
