AFTER you answer my question.

I have a USB hub thingy, which has seven 7 usb plugs, plus two on my macbook, which are being used by the thing for the USB hub and my speakers (which are not loud enough at all and make me very sad since I spent $80 on them). So obviously, I have no room for anymore usb plugs!

So can I buy another USB 7 jammer USB hub thing and just plug it into my old one? Like, is it okay that it's not directly plugged into my computer? I guess I could just plug it right into my computer and plug the speakers into it?

Or should I buy a bigger one all together? Like a 12 or 15 thing?

I kinda answered my own question midway through, but I'll post anyway just to hear your intelligent answers

What the hell do you have plugged into your laptop to even need so many USB connections? And yes, you can plug the second hub into the first one or the other available port as long as it's self-powered.

Your laptop has Bluetooth so go with a wireless mouse. Also, are the cameras and printer USB 2.0 compatible? Otherwise they're just slowing down the rest of you devices.(i.e. the iPod and hard drive.) Do you have a wireless network running in the house? If so connect the printer up to it instead. And are you sure the external needs 2 ports? Usually external drives come with 2 ports on the back as a mini-hub; 1 for the drive itself and a spare for another device to connect to.

Don't go bluetooth unless you want the hassle of connectivity issues, battery issues, etc. Although... since you've got a laptop, you're already dealing with battery issues.

Grrr I hate wireless.

I don't have much issues with my battery, if anything I'm sort of impressed with it. Right now my laptop is acting like a desktop, just sits on my desk. Back to school next week though, so then I'll be using it on the train again and stuff. But I have no complaints.


New hearing aids are bluetooth compatible, apparently you just hit a button on a little remote and you can answer your cell phone, and you hear the person's voice right in your hearing aid. I think that's pretty goddamn cool.

That *is* pretty goddamn cool.

I need a bluetooth-enabled soft drink. Hit a button and it automagically gets a free refill.

I have to concur that bluetooth is a stupid, immature and buggy technology.

I'm cutting away callous skin on my toe. It's disgustingly satisfying, you should try it.

noo, much too much work. I want everything plugged in ready to go at my whim's notice. I hate waiting and then being like "oh why isn't this working" and then realizing its because I didn't plug something in.

Absolutely not

Never ask women what they want. Tell them what they want, and if they like you they'll agree.
