I didn't foresee a USB (or lack of USB port) problem but some posts got me thinking. My USB devices on my PC all fit with their own slot because I have about 8 of them total but 15" MBPs only have 2.
My devices are as follows:
-USB Mouse
-USB Keyboard
-Internal-turned-external Hard Drive
-Digital Camera Cable
-iPod cable
The USB Mouse/Keyboard can be fit into one port using this Y device I saw and most likely will have to buy. The Digi-cam/iPod don't always have to be plugged in obviously. My problem is that without buying a wireless mouse and keyboard OR hooking my External HD to my router I'm gonna have to disconnect one or the other to plug in my Digi-cam or iPod.
What option is the cheapest ? I could:
-Buy Bluetooth keyboard/mouse (expensive)
-Buy Media Storage ready router (since I need a new router anyway..but the media routers I've seen seem like junk)
-Buy a USB port hub type deal (does this work well with laptops? Under-power issues?)
Long post. Advice please
