pockets are the best place for dongles, thats where i keep mine. if you
don't keep your dongle in a pocket when its not in use, one would have to
let their dongle dangle [from the interconnect port]! and its always
important to remember that one must be careful how one inserts things into
the interconnect port, dangling dongles or otherwise, because proper care
will extend the life and your enjoyment of both your dongle and
interconnect port!
i couldn't hold it in any longer.

I could see telling me that repeated connection and disconnection of the
interconnect dongle might damage the port....But actual use--the passing
of electrons along the pins and traces? That's a little tough to
handle. Comment?
