You can claim that having two ports is the default but that isn't |
47 |
supported by a single fact. As I said, the only person who thinks it is |
48 |
a default is you. The default would be set by the manufacturers. Since |
49 |
what is manufactured has to be sold, one good way to find out what the |
50 |
default is, go look at what is being sold. When you see something that |
51 |
is common, like say four USB ports, then that is the default. Another |
52 |
example, if most all boards have five PCI-e slots, then that is the |
53 |
default. If you want six slots, seven slots or more, then you are |
54 |
likely going to pay extra and have fewer buying options because that is |
55 |
not the default. |
56 |
|
57 |
Using your logic, no one eats rice since so much of it is grown and |
58 |
sold. If rice was not grown and not sold, then your logic would work. |
59 |
So, your post doesn't even make sense. The manufacturers of boards by a |
60 |
large margin puts one ethernet port on a home use board and even most |
61 |
office computers only need one port. If one goes and looks at what is |
62 |
being manufactured and sold, they would be able to see that. Of course, |
63 |
some people can't see it even when several people post the facts. It |
64 |
seems some will never get the idea. |
