The collective noun for a pack of Apple dongles is called a "courage". When they are bagged up to keep them organized, its known as a "bag of courage". When the Apple dongles are left alone in a drawer, unused and replaced by some wireless magic, they are sometimes referred to as a "fear".

Courage is the story in which a strict philosophy teacher gives his class a difficult final exam for which they are given several sheets of paper to answer the question "what is courage?". While all the students begin to write, one student picks up their paper, walks to the front of the room, slams it on the teacher's desk and says "this is." before leaving the room. The student got the only 100 in the class.
Man, it took James some wicked courage to say that to the teacher's face!
