Hi.  A recent discussion of the comparative merits of slide latches versus
screw/thumbscrew as a means of attaching a cable to a system port has
prompted this unofficial opinion poll.

Which do you prefer and why?  

or put another way -

Do you like slide latches (the connector used for ethernet cables)?  Why 
or why not?

Do you like screw on connectors?  Why or why not?


Feel free to forward this note to friends.  Also, please reply directly,
not to the list.  I'll publish the results if there are any.

Thanks,

Richard Gralnik
