Cable overload

Tuesday Apr 22, 2008

OK, quick inventory of my Apple products: 1 PowerBook, 1 MacBook, 1 MacBook Pro, 1 Airport Express, 1 Time Capsule, 2 iPods and 1 iPod Touch.

Needless to say that I have an overload of cables lying around.  This can lead to kind of embarrassing situations, as occurred this evening.

My iPod Touch needed some power, so I took one of the cables and plugged it into my MacBook Pro.  To my surprise and growing annoyance the iPod Touch did not start loading.  Tried another USB port, unplugged the power cord, plugged it back in.  Nothing, so getting more and more frustrated.  Until ...

There it was, the cable that was attached to my iPod Touch was tangled up with another cable, exactly the same one.  So I plugged in the wrong cable into my MacBook Pro :-)

Who has similar stories to share, if you are bold enough to admit them that is ;-)
