I don't know where this rather persistent myth comes from, but I hope not too
many people are frying anything by plugging things in upside down. The
connectors on the A500 and A1000 are reversed front to back, but are NOT
reversed top to bottom. The only thing odd about using a peripheral on the
other machine is that the front of it will face the rear.
