Chapter 3: Using Your Notebook     31
Using the USB port
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a new type of serial interface that serves as a 
single-port alternative to connecting devices that traditionally have required 
their own specific ports, such as mice, joysticks, keyboards, scanners, video 
cameras, and speakers.
To use, connect the USB-compatible peripheral into the USB port (see 
“Using the USB port” on page 31). The USB automatically installs and 
configures the necessary drivers and the system resources.
