In particular, I've had some stubborn cards (the worst was a cisco dual-width
FDDI board) leap out and stab me with those little stubby pins that protrude
that, and the connectors are evil...
I've had no problem with them -- they stick a little sometimes, but that's
not too much trouble. I'd rather that than have them fall out. :) from the top of the connector's solder points...the
problem is that applying
enough force to dislodge the damn card also jammed it up
into the sides of my
thumbs. it hurts, especially when it's the third time that's happened in 5
minutes...
