How much USB stuff are you running?
Just wondering how much stuff you guys are using with USB, are you stingy, a usb hog with hubs all-over or are they empty? Just curious since I'm bored at work, and want to know if I'm average for the amount or not.

I have the following
1. mouse
2. keyboard with hub
3. nostromo speedpad n52
4. scanner
5. printer
6. digital camera
7. remote wonder receiver
8. memstick (when working)
9. Wireless kb and mouse (not being used right now, on another system)

I really have to pick myself up a hub so that i can clear up some of the wire mess in the back.

i only use usb regularly with my joystick. the occasional hook up with my digi cam or iriver is also usb...other than that, i dont use it. i see no reason to use usb for my mouse and keyboard when all it does is offer less bandwith.

I use my mouse usb because the little usb to ps2 adapter gets in the way and comes loose easier, my keyboard I'm using ps2 but it has a built in 2 port usb hub (ver1)

I have a usb printer, but it just sits in my car usually, in case I want to use it with my laptop. I use my networked printer at home for everything.
