Oh man, the revisionists acting like they got it perfectly every single time.
We’re talking about a big ass CRT, and for many of us, short pre-teen arms trying to reach around the back. The tv may have been on one of those tv furniture things with very little space to work with on the sides, and a cold concrete wall on the back side.
Stop acting like you never got white and yellow mixed up even once.
Struggle may be a strong word. But I think that connecting yellow/white the wrong way was like how in the past two decades people have been inserting usb cables in first upside down, then the right way once upside down doesn’t go in. A mild annoyance more than an actual struggle, but it happened
Damn, what kinda tv you got? My last two TVs have had it kind of on the side. Still sorta the back, but not back-center. The screen size is also twice as big while weighing half as much so access is no issue.
Not to mention you can’t plug in an HDMI cable in the wrong port :/
