If you get the hang of this, quantum chromodynamics are going to be like a walk in the park.

Back when radio shack was there to help you figure out how to connect the thing to the other thing. The usual problem was you had the one multi-colored thing, and the thing it was supposed to connect to did not have matching colors or matching anything at all.

The only one that was hard was RGB. Any only because it had 2 reds and some cables didn't distinguish which red was which.

wasnt about getting the colors right (which was a challenged trying to get cables connected in tight confines..) it was about how fucking tight those sockets were, and the closer the plugs were, the tighter they were by some bizarre happenstance, so ones super tight up against eachother like that would be near impossible to shove in, especially in cramped confines that you typically had to work in.

You have to do it without looking tho. That said, I actually found them easier than hdmi. With hdmi, even if I have it the right way I sometimes think it's the wrong way because it isn't aligned properly.

I had two pieces of equipment to connect and when I matched the colors it wouldn't work. I had to swap two of the colors. I think they misprinted the colors on the unit.

The real struggle was explaining the input button to your parents afterwards, and how your video games did not break the TV.

The real struggle (for me) was mixing up VGA and Serial
