One thing that I wish Apple hadn't done with the newer line of Mac's was
moving all connectors for the keyboard/ADB to the back.  I own a 512KE, and
really enjoy being able to have the keyboard connector on the front of the
Mac.  I've used many II's and SE's, and just don't like the idea of having
to  S T R E T C H  the very short keyboard cord provided with the newer Mac's
around the back of the II's.  Wouldn't it be much easier to just put an
ADB connector on the front of the computer?

My vote goes for moving at least one connector back to the front of the
new Mac's.  Any opinions?
