Worst design decisions?

["Matt" <acheron () qwest net>]

Hello all,

Was doing some upgrades on a UBR7246 (to a VXR), and I got to thinking 
about short sighted design considerations.  I was curious if any of you 
had some pet peeves from a design perspective to rant about.  I'll start 
with a couple.

1) Why did Cisco design the I/O controller on the 7246 with screws in 
the corner, which are very difficult to get at?  And worse than that, 
why did they not include a cheap handle on the blank in this slot?

2) Why did Cisco not include side handles on the 12000 chassis?  It's a 
heavy chassis, and I can imagine how many techs have thrown out their 
back moving that chassis around.

I've got a couple others in my head from 3Com and a couple of others, 
but I thought I'd get the ball rolling.  So, what do you think?
