These days everything seems to be USB connected.

Yah... and its been a long time coming. Glad to see it finally. [whew]. Yah know... in the PC flame threads I generally stick up for winders and MS and PC clones but this was something that Apple figgered out in the early 80's: Serial bus rules. Parallel drools.

Neato thing about USB is that now its showing up everywhere. Just went thru the drill of getting dad set up with a new 'puter. Got him a Dell with a shuweet LCD DVI 19' display.

I'm setting it up and here's this USB cable I'm supposed to connect to the display, in addition to the digital video cable... and I'm scratching my head trying to figger out why... would... this... be...

Duh... I hate it when I get outta touch with things. The display has a built-in USB hub. Gives four USB ports right on the display. Shuweet. (OK... so I don't set up computers fer a livin' any more...)

Yeah, the most exasperating thing about my laptop is that it only has two USB ports, and they're on the back. USB on the LCD sounds like a great combination...

Man, I want a 19inch LCD...
