Title: And I thought having 7 USB ports on a computer was stupid
Post by: Blaze-Senpai on May 18, 2007, 02:26:54 PM
I now see the point in having so many.

All these things use my USB ports: Mouse, PC Controller (Mainly for playing GBA games v; ) MP3 Player, USB Drive, and WiFi USB adapter.

Now my computer only has 2 ports originally, but USB hubs are wonders  hur;

I want a new computer  argh;

Letsee, I myself got TWO PLAYSTATION CONTROLLERS hooked up to my front, and on my back is my Mouse, Tablet(equivalent of two mouses, mice, whatever),Printer hookup, Random cord for hooking up whatever mp3 player I may have.

That's only 6 ports. Huh. I thought I had 8. My old computer has a lonely little mouse with it.

Some do, some don't. I prefer the ones that do.

We make sure just about everything we buy is powered by USB that goes in the office. We even have two lamps and a seat warmer in the chair that run through the USB.

Not usually. My printer, touch screen, phone cable and Zen cable tend to be the ones that are usually left in.
