Paint your USB ports

I can't see which direction I need to plug in my USB devices and ports. So I will be painting them.

Step 1 Step 1: tape off your ports

Get some tape and tape them off. Painters tape is great, but any will work.

i must say i do agree...oh the hilarity of plugging a square ethernet into a round sound jack (?!?!?!)

Good idea. I often think the USB developers disregard the phisical configuration. Really, USB ports are very cumbersome to use.

Beats making sure pins dont get bent, then screwing it in!

I would not suggest using silver, gold, or any metallic paint, because if you screw up and paint the contacts you could mess up your hardware

It's a good idea, (although most of the time I have trouble the ports are around the back....) Have you marked the USB plugs, or is it obvious which way up they are?
