That's probably because auto-sensing Ethernet ports were introduced after
the Blue & White. My PowerBook Pismo, which was introduced after the Blue &
White doesn't have an auto-sensing Ethernet port, so I have to use a hub.

brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the
programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his or
her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of
scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large
ones. The term can also be used in reference to programming style:
brute-force programs are written in a heavyhanded, tedious way, full of
repetition and devoid of any elegance or useful abstraction (see also brute
force and ignorance).
