USB plugs...I ALWAYS get them the wrong way up

[Zak33]

50/50 chance...yeah right

Anyone else ALWAYS get then in upside down?

Makes me MAD :angry fuming icon yet to be devised:

[Allen]

Just look for the label on the top side... I never get 'em the wrong way up!

[steve threlfall]

Use firewire

[sputnik found]

i get them upside down too, but my sisters are even worse. They force them in even if there upside down, :|
so nearly all there usb sockets are broken.... i don't know

[Zak33]

some of my USB has no label....

my USB HDD and my joystick....

drives me MAD

[Allen]

Put labels on yourself then...

[steve threlfall]

Cant beat front usb ports

...unless you have front usb2.0 ports or firewire

[5lab]

all usb connectors should have that little squigly wire picture on the top side of them..

[Skii]

FORCE THEM

they WILL fit muhahahahaha

aw..it doesn't work now...

[G4Z]

gotta say I allways get em the wrong way round.

I am sure the ports flip when ya not looking...

[funnelhead]

never mind the usb flip - what about the ps2 twist? you have to turn that round like 3 or 4 times before it goes in!

[5lab]

this is why old skool is best - cant go wrong with good ol' DB9/15/25 ports.. you can put them in with yer eyes closed.. just have to work out which side is smaller....

pain in the @rse that

little gits those ps2 plugs/ports

why cant verything be as simple as a network plug

[Aaron]

PS/2, USB, Firewire... it's all a pain.

Why can't everyone use phono or something? Can't go wrong with phono....

[5lab]

can you imagine trying to put 25 poles on a phono plug? it'd be mad.. you'd have to have 13 different plugs.. i imagine putting that in would take a damn site longer than simply flipping yer parallel cable in..

could do 4 pole 3.5mm jack for usb thou.. that'd work nicely..

[floppybootstomp]

Why can't they use Phono? Probably because everything isn't serial yet, even USB ports got four connections. Me too, I always get them upside down. And I can never get the foil off the top of the coffee jar in one go And another thing...
