    Don’t forget the thousand dollar basic monitor stand. Or the assumption that their users were too stupid to understand multiple mouse buttons until like the mid 00s. Or making a mouse that was completely round (still with one button) so you’d have to look at it to be sure it’s oriented correctly, though I guess that one was more bad design than lack of respect for their users.

      Oh yeah. And the rechargeable mouse that needs to be flipped upside down to charge simply because the designers hated the idea of people leaving it plugged in constantly. Or the Mac Pro wheels that cost almost as much as an entire handheld PC.
