Well I guess the theory is that a gold plated connector won't corrode as much so the connection is less likely to fail. Not sure if there is any proof to backup that theory. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
