Walt:
My Dells have around 6 USB ports (including those under the front panel). Buy
yourself a USB hub, which will give you four or so easily accessible ports to
plug things into.

If the people who make cars were as incompetent as the ones who build
computers, the roads would be clogged with horse shit, because we'd all have a
couple in the back yard -- horses, not computers. New, gee-whiz super
computer, and no f***ing parallel port! Looks like I'm behind the times.
Again. Am I the only one with still working, perfectly good old printers? And
only two USB ports in the back? That's enough for mouse and keyboard, but what
about Epson and Minolta scanners and a pair of Epson printers, particularly the
2200, all of which need these things? I can plug the E-1 or E-330, et al, into
the front when I need to update the firmware every once in a blue moon, but I
don't want to have to play musical ports with all the other stuff that's used
regularly.
Fortunately, since I told them to hold the TV card -- who the hell watches TV
on a computer anyway? -- there's a couple of open expansion slots. I'll go out
very speedily one day next week in my intelligently-designed, now 510HP SSR and
see what I can find at CompUSA or some similar geeky place. :-)
Jeez!
