    USB Explained[^] This comes with the usual caveats about re-posts (i.e. I don't care, I wouldn't even know how to find this)

    Good one - trying to get a usb cable into the back of a tower is even worse... One trick I learned is - place a mirror on the wall behind the tower, it makes plugging in and unplugging cables much easier.

        It couldn't be a repost, since like the graphic, your post is 4D..

              Try having a USB key for accessing your admin account. And the computer is under someone's desk, waaaaay in the back.

                What I hate are the other connectors which look like USB from an angle. Can't tell you how many times I tried to plug in a USB drive into my laptop's "Display Port" connector.

                  Also you cant use a USB cable as a grappling hook. :)

                    I though I was the only Person to that, the RS232 USB connectors don't have enough clearance for the job!

                      I assume the pointy hairs balk at installing a USB hub...

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
