GE Ed,

EV> My XP desktop pc has 2 USB ports on the front and several on the
EV> back.

I have 3 USB ports available on the back and one internal on the card
that can be connected to the front.

EV> I have a A.C. Powered USB Hub connected to one of the USB ports on
EV> the back.

I don't but that is an opportunity if I want.

EV> I wanted a Powered Hub so that all of the USB thingy I plugged into
EV> it would get all of the current they need to operate.

Well, I don't have such power hungry appliances except a 3.5" floppy
drive that doesn't write unless it's attached when the machine is on.

EV> I have the Hub on top of the desktop pc and use a Velcro Pad between
EV> it and the pc to keep the Hub from moving around.

Thanks for the tip. I may use it.
