i agree with ensign paris

and i have seen a lot a good suprises from apple (like the cube which i loved but which cost apple very dearly i'm sure)

...but 12 usb ports? no way in 2002

but with all the extra usb junk i find myself buying, i can certainly use 12 usb ports since i have two printers, two scanners, an external zip, and a digital camera, and i plan to buy another camera sometime and maybe an external usb hard drive and/or peerless drive and one of those thin cannon scanners sounds cool and...

i agree that people are buying more and more usb peripherals. but there really should be no mass need for usb ports. most "normal" people only really need a max af 3. by normal i mean people who do not sit at their computer all day like most of us. so i think that 4 would be a good number of ports. but i think we'll be seeing usb start to get phased out soon and *replaced* with 1394.
