I'm just curious: take a look at your computer right now. How many USB devices do you currently have plugged in? How many ports do you wish you had?

I'll start: I've got 9 devices plugged in, spread across 3 hubs:

- keyboard
- external disk
- mobile phone
- bluetooth adapter
- webcam
- Yubikey
- SD card reader
- Griffin PowerMate
- Arduino SoC
