USB Port on a computer?
Can someone tell me where the USB Port is located on a computer. Does every computer have a USB Port? My cousin wants to send me a birthday gift and she wants to know if I have a USB Port. I looked on the back but I don't know what I am doing. What is the USB Port used for? Does every computer have a USB Port? I have a desktop computer. Don't know the name of the computer as I got it refurbished four years ago from a computer guy who does this for a living.
Any information will be truly appreciated.

Almost all computers built in the last 7 years have one.
It is a small slot on the back or front
It is Called a Universal Serial Bus. USB. It was designed for quick and easy connections for all kinds of computer equipment. It is the Universal Standard for connecting things to a computer.

How old was it before it was refurbished? USB has been around for a while. Some computers have ports on the front, but almost all desktops with USB have ports on the back. Look around where the mouse and keyboard are plugged in (they may be USB devices themselves though).. A usb plug on the desktop will be a small rectangle no wider then your thumb. There should be (but not always) a symbol imprinted next to it that looks like a misshaped trident.

Most modern computers have USB. However, older ones will not. Check the back of the computer, if you are lucky you may have one or two on the front. Below are two images I got off of google that shows what they look like. They are small, rectangular, and have a small piece on side. Is there anyway you can take a picture?
