This post reminded me how much I always loved PCMCIA, as a standard.
The hardware was the size of a candy bar. There was space for a big colorful sticker on the flat side. The insertion force had a very satisfying feeling. The all metal cases made them feel substantial and expensive.
Big, colorful, tactile. They were the vinyl albums of the PC world.
