Wisdom from my father: if it ain't broke don't fuck with it. My favorite 
is pawing through the USB cable connection to find the right one. I think 
I have the entire collection including the standard B the Arduino Unos 
use, a few non-compliant adapters to solve sex problems. Apparently C, 
which was going to be the answer to the maiden's prayer, is turning into 
another CF, not on the physical level but what a particular C port 
supports isn't clear.

Then there are the cables that come with chargers that do not have the 
data connections, like 12" of #26 wire would break the bank. I treat those 
like ticks -- chop them up into little pieces.
