You're absolutely right, and Curt also mentioned that as a
possibility. I actually sat looking at Curt's post thinking for nigh
on 30 seconds or so, hmmm, a USB hub, what could that be? Something
like a switch??? LOL

I've actually bought a (6-port) USB card to tide me over, I'm actually
not too trusting of the hubs, while considering one of several larger
items next month (budgeting).
