Also, to be clear, my dislike of microSD predates me going blind and
I've always held that they're fine for applications where they're
installed and then never have to be touched unless they need to be
replaced or you want to increase your storage space, but that they're
too small to serve as a practical means of moving data between devices
and my experience is that lots of devices that use microSD for
removable storage lack a USB mass storage mode for easily moving files
between the SD card and a Desktop.
Then again, I have big hands and in general have a dislike of design
decisions I perceive as sacrificing ergonomics or practicality in the
name of miniaturization... Fortunately, the Raspberry Pi, excluding
the Pi 0 line strikes a pretty decent balance between small enough to
fit in one's pocket and big enough to include all of the most
important ports... and while the Pi 0 is too minimalist for my liking,
I give it a pass because minimalism is the point of the 0 and at least
the Raspberry Pi foundation offers the full-featured version instead
of assuming everyone will be happy with the stripped down one.
