Walt,
Jeez, I'm really surprised that a desktop machine could be had
with so few USB ports. Even the ones we have here at work (and they
aren't known for buying TOTL models) have 6 on the back and two on the
front.

If the people who make cars were as incompetent as the ones who build
computers, the roads would be clogged with horse shit, because we'd all
have a couple in the back yard -- horses, not computers. New, gee-whiz
super computer, and no f***ing parallel port! Looks like I'm behind the
times. Again. Am I the only one with still working, perfectly good old
printers? And only two USB ports in the back? That's enough for mouse
and keyboard, but what about Epson and Minolta scanners and a pair of
Epson printers, particularly the 2200, all of which need these things?
I can plug the E-1 or E-330, et al, into the front when I need to update
the firmware every once in a blue moon, but I don't want to have to play
musical ports with all the other stuff that's used regularly.
Fortunately, since I told them to hold the TV card -- who the hell
watches TV on a computer anyway? -- there's a couple of open expansion
slots. I'll go out very speedily one day next week in my
intelligently-designed, now 510HP SSR and see what I can find at CompUSA
or some similar geeky place. :-)
Jeez!
