Back in the day all laptops had hinged or sliding doors over the IO ports specifically to keep debris out of the IO sockets, whether parallel/serial, VGA, RJ45, RJ11, USB, etc. I think some models still do. Most apparently no longer have this feature, either due to many users breaking the doors off of manufacturers simply being cheap(er). It's a good idea to keep a travel size air duster (compressed air) in your laptop bag to not only keep ports clean, but also the keyboard, and most importantly the CPU/GPU fans. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
