To all and everyone (particularly KenH):
I have finally found a good use for those little pieces of Brother TZ tape.
I use them to label the UP side of USB cables.
Like many others (I suspect) I have a plethora of USB cables lurking everywhere I sit.
Without very close attention (seldom available) there is a 50% chance that it will be wrong side up when you go to plug it in. I once had a cable that came with a little holographic sticker on one side of one end. I never got that one wrong.
Just the other day, I was looking in the case that the labeler travels in for protection and convenience. Well, inside were a collection of said snippets. When I am working on someone's boat, I have to clean up after the job is done. White, black, silver and clear were there as a assortment of sizes. And the scissors that live in that same case. As I shook them to one end to corner to empty them from the case, the USB cable (I use my lap top to make fonts and sizes match existing panels) also fell out and the LED (recently replaced the incandescent) lit up. I started cutting and sticking.
The first dozen or so cables in close proximity have been tagged, only about another 99 to go.
