    I've lost count how many times I've inadvertantly plugged a usb into an Ethernet port

    Same for eSATA ports. But they also are actual USB ports

    @epse I did this the other day and completely freaked out when I looked at where I'd just smashed the usb drive in. But it was reading and the logo next to the port said it was okay.

    I don't understand how you could possibly plug a USB into an Ethernet port, by accident.

    @epse I'd had my laptop for over a year before realising that the eSATA gave me a fourth USB port!

    Sometimes they route the ethernet port through the USB controller, so you were not too far off :D
