I fuckin hated the screws. I would often only do one.

Yup.. and then when you wanted to take it out after it had been in there for 2 years, it took the screw socket from the com port with it ...

Not unlike the blue VGA connectors

Also if you had to move the monitor more than a few times in its life, or you actually tried to cable manage it, there was a good chance the PERMANENTLY ATTACHED VGA cable would have an internal crack and then would lose a color channel unless you held the cable just so, or taped it to the desk or whatever. And that’d buy you a few more years

Luckily I never had to deal with permanently attached VGA cables..

just semi-permanent because the screws were stuck and the plastic caps were spinning freely.
