usb ports and plugs

[Momiji]

You don't need to be an engineer. Red wire to pin 1, black wire to pin 4, middle 2 pins empty. The middle 2 are used for data, per the first hit on google for "USB schematic. Just think of VCC (Voltage carrying circuit) as "positive" and GND as "negative," although the positive/negative nomenclature doesn't actually apply in this case.

EDIT: Read that over and it sounded snarky. This is not my intent. Just pointing out that USB pinouts aren't as complicated as you might think they are if you don't even try to find out how they work. Remember, "I can't" is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Well, I wasn't really talking about the cable-- I was talking about the fan.

Using a fan in the summertime is brilliant?

[Momiji]

Using one that is meant for a computer!

I can't be expected to understand you until I've taken circuits, so jus tlike, >:{

I'm discussing principles that are taught in junior high science classes in the province of Alberta.

Guess you're ignoring my idea then

Baloki, do I have to respond to every thing you say?! Stu and I agreed that it would be the best idea if we could find such a device that was short, because this tablet already has a cord that is somewhere around 6 feet long and I think I'd freak out if it were longer.
