My USB hub was a Christmas present. With the digital camera, wireless network device, web cam, and iPAQ all vying for the two USB ports on my PC, I was getting a little sick of constantly switching cables around. This powered four-port hub from Belkin solved that problem and brought the ports up onto my desk for easier reaching at the same time.
