Personally I don't like micro USB. It's too small, doesn't self guide
on insertion, the orientation is non-obvious and with the lack of
self guidance is the thing not going together because it's miss
aligned or the wrong way up? Mini USB doesn't suffer those problems.

I agree with you that miniUSB was easier than microUSB, and I'm
all for standards, but for the newer micro USB plugs to last far
fewer insertions is crazy.

At least they should have come up with a standard where the number
of insertions goes *up*, not down, as they improve the connector!

BTW, you'll notice the pink nail polish?

Yeah, wondered what that was. Good idea.

Tho I'd prefer model paint since I'd have to buy it anyway.

I saw that trick on a forum here. It let's me know right away which
way to insert the plug as there's a matching dot on the device also!
