Hell I remember when USB on PCs was basically a set of pins on the motherboard and you had to buy the actual port assembly separately and hope there was somewhere reasonable on your case to mount it. Was going absolutely nowhere on PC until the iMac came and did away with all other ports and no peripherals built in.

    I remember my sister winning an iPod and gave it to me, because she didn't need it. I had to run to the computer store in town to purchase a USB deck for my motherboard. Fun times.

    What is a “USB deck”?

    Probably a square rectangle of plastic you'd add to your PC, like a CD player, but with a USB connector. And wires/card towards the mobo. Cases always had like 2-4 emplacements for those kind of things on the front.
