Too bad the USB ports on ReplayTVs aren’t even powered…..

The cable box one is, but I have a laptop cooler running off of it….to keep my cable box cool.

Belkin makes a nice 7 port powered hub: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006BB9N/qid=1101839342/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl229/104-6825522-5687903?v=glance&s=office-products&n=507846 other Belkin hubs: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-6825522-5687903

But of course! Right now, I have a mini fiber-optic tree in the main corridor. Every holiday, I have a “make your own ornament out of office/lab supplies” contest for that tree. We’ve had some *really* creative entries in the past. This year, I’m making a wreath out of Cat5 cable

PS: Does anyone have a good reccomendation for an AC-powered 8+ USB hub? The ones I have been using just don’t seem to want to power 8 devices without complaining.

I must say that the USB tree is a great idea! I just emailed the USB geeks for bulk pricing so that I can set them up all over my office.

Aequitas, what’s the point? We’ll be gone the 18th through the 26th in Hawaii with family. If we had a tree set up then it would be lonely. :p

I didn’t know you would be in Hawaii….will you have a tree in Hawaii? If not you must reschedual your trip so that you can have a Christmas tree….and I mean a real one not an artificial one.

You won’t be having a Christmas tree this year!!!
How can you not have a Christmas tree?….wait don’t bother answering that questioin because there is no right answer.
A Christmas without a Christmas tree is like a rock wearing a hat…it just doesn’t make sense.
