     @nixCraft Answer: this made it possible to connect huge display screens there twenty years ago, long before your pathetic 65-inch televisions were available (you don't have to say that they were just projectors, but the children will still be amazed).

     @nixCraft If you smush playdoh in the hdmi port and close the lid it extrudes hair through the holes in the vga port.

     Show them a parallel cable and port, with the clips. Slap the cable and say "That's going nowhere", and laugh at the puny USB-C cables that fall out with the slightest provocation. Don't mention the SCART cable that, with 21 pins, you were never really sure if it was connected.

     @nixCraft that's clearly a plug for some old video game controllers!

     p.s- I know that it is actually a video port

     It’s used to connect your split keyboard halves… duh!

     https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/yy33ur/i_built_a_split_keyboard_that_uses_vga_as/

     But in this case probably to connect your split laptop halves.
