Tech Tip of the Week

Do you use any USB cables to connect a device to your computer? Sure you do. Plugging them in should be a no-brainer, but how many times do you get it right on the first try? Here’s an easy way to ensure you never have to guess again. Pick up a USB cable. See the USB symbol? It’s only on one side. Keep that on top, and you’re plugging it in correctly. If you’re plugging in vertically, the symbol should face you. Try it – works every time.
