Comment Re:1 port for a hub (Score 1) 301

You are correct from a technical point of view that just one is enough thanks to hubs; but the question is really if one were to plunk down cash, how many are desired? In that case, dangling a hub is easy when primary used at a desk but I'd really rather have at least 2 or best 3 built into the thing so I can get by dragging a hub along.

Civil rights have come a long way if having iPads is now one. Do people even know what civil rights are anymore?
