heh.. yeah I just had to get a 7 port to hook up a webcam I got for Xmas.. And I had already added a 2 port finger plate to get to 8 total.. One of my front ports takes care of at least 3 devices that are not permanently plugged in: Camera, Itouch, ext. SSD, :huh:
But Succellus- you could condense a little- A separate scanner & printer? :D Also- FWIW- My microphone/ headphones work great from my front side phonojack. But- I HAD to use that because the USB adaptor that the headset came with was so frickin BLOATED it blocked the port next to it...
