USB Cables

I looked at the USB cables dangling there, and I laughed pityingly at them, and I thought, Whoever designed the connector of the USB cable was a man who despised the human race, because you can't tell which way to turn it and you waste minutes of your tiny day, crouched, grunting, trying the half-blocked connector one way and the next. -Nicholson Baker, The Anthologist, 121.

Hey Beth!
Yes, I agree, USB cables are not designed well AT ALL.
I came to tell you that I took away the banner in response to yours and chloes wonder at how that would look and would love to know what you think about it.

Actually, s-video cables are slightly more infuriating than USB cables...Just for the record.
