  Were you plugging and unplugging constantly? I haven't had any USB port failures on my laptops or PCs over the years that I can recall. But I'm usually pretty easy on my stuff. I still have 5 year old tennis shoes ;-)

    That just means you haven't been playing enough tennis! ;)

      You're right about that! The last time I played tennis was 5 years ago when I popped my Achilles tendon behind my right ankle. Partner and I actually heard it "pop", and then he drove me home 'cuz I couldn't shift my manual transmission car. Had to wear a boot until after having surgery a couple weeks later. Then P.T. for several weeks.
      
      Doctor told me ruptured Achilles are a common occurrence with old guys like me playing tennis or basketball. ;-)

    USB ports on my 'headless' Mac Mini will last forever.
    
    The laptop had a USB cable plugged in anytime I wanted to play music from it (mostly streaming).
    
    Now I just plug in a Lifatec mini TOSLINK cable into the headphone jack and there are no electrical contacts to wear, etc.
