My biggest gripe about eSATA is the connectors are amazingly easy to
disconnect.  None of the ones I've used have had any sort of locking on
them.

I sure wish that we had used Ethernet for peripheral interconnects.
Ethernet keyboard and mouse anyone?  :-)  What, 45W of power via PoE...
Man, that would have rocked!

This reminds me of the old HP 712 "Gecko" workstation ISDN adapter.  It
connected to the 712 via SCSI -- the only port it had fast enough to handle
the blindingly fast 128Kbps throughput.  The serial interfaces on it were
much slower than that.  IP over SCSI, baby!
