When I interviewed at Apple years ago there was a poster on the wall that had a picture of a MacBook with a MagSafe charger connected. A kid was crossing by the desk the laptop was sitting on it and it was about to cross the charging cable. Without MagSafe laptop could've fallen on this kid's head.
The writing on the poster said: Come work with people who invented MagSafe to save children's lives. (or something similar)
I really liked that poster. Never worked at Apple but I still remember that moment.
MagSafe is great! What a shame they took it away for a few years!
