I now have 11 USB ports in my pc, when I installed the last 5 I assumed i'd hardly ever need them...

they're nearly all used :lol:


Camera, Printer, Wireless thingy, Mobile, Mouse, Keyboard, uhm..I know the rest are attached to things...maybe next door have added a few lol

I think you're a bit late with this as it took off some time ago. Most quality mice and keyboards and almost all portable devices like digital cameras and music devices connect using USB.

Indeed some larger capacity devices now use firewire which is an improvement on USB

They sure have taken off, my nintendo ds, mp3 player, digital camera all charge up through my usb ports, and thats without including all the connections to my printer and scanner!
