Many smaller laptops/netbooks often come with a lack of USB ports. Something as simple as a mouse and flash drive pretty much pushes the limits of what smaller hardware can accommodate. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Noooo sir. When the going gets tough, the tough get a 24-port USB hub. What anyone could possibly need 24 for at any given moment is beyond me. But I guess it’s nice to have the option, right? Pick yours up from Chinavasion for $28 bucks...
