   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.
