Hello All!

I am having to plan a shift to a new desk top machine. At
the moment, it seems I would need 6 external USB ports and
it looks like another 2 might be useful as spares. I want
to do as little plugging and unplugging as possible.

1 Printer
2 Scanner
3 Digital camera connection
4 UPS
5 External Hard Disc
6 Memory Stick

Are there machines with 8 ports that people would
recommend? I am assuming that the machine would support a
cordless keyboard and mouse without dedicated external
ports. Thanks for any assistance.





Nope

don't make that assumtion...

cordless keyboards and mice generally come with a
reciever/transmitter

As long as they are PS2 and not USB, that is. Otherwise USB to PS2 adapters
would be recommended where needed. Keyboards can be a little ornery so read
the specs closely.

HTH,
