Admittedly it's a small dream, but thus far elusive... I dream that designers of RJ-45 cable ends will some day work with the designers of RJ-45 ports to produce a solution that actually leaves the little tab hanging far enough out of the port so that you can remove it without having to use a knife or extremely small screwdriver. Then maybe they could work together with chassis makers so that there's enough room around the port to get your fingers in to where the tab is... How come they always put the tabs on lower ports facing the bottom and upper ports towards the top, exactly where it's more likely to be blocked by the shroud around the ports? How come they never put them on the left or right sides where there's never anything in the way? If I were running for President, this would be my platform.

While you are at it, can you get them to redesign the Molex hard-drive power plugs in ATX power supplies? I hate those things. Either you have to use maximum force to pull them out or they just don't go in right because the pins are not quite aligned.
