Hello all,

Was doing some upgrades on a UBR7246 (to a VXR), and I got to thinking about short sighted design considerations. I was curious if any of you had some pet peeves from a design perspective to rant about. I'll start with a couple.

the orginal GSR blanks came without handles. They were also put in tight
as ***. For days after, your fingers would have the imprints of the
little screws on them. I once use my socks to protect my fingers when I
was pulling them out.

You grabbed another one from that chassis I hadn't considered right away (although I do now). Yes, that was extremely annoying - I snapped a screw once on an old 5800 chassis with the same design flaw.
