A note to my USB peripherals

Posted on July 30, 2004 
Filed Under Macintosh

Yes Wacom tablet, Apple Studio Display 21″, keyboard, Epson scanner, Logitech microphone, bluetooth adapter and APC UPS, I’m talking to you. Memory stick reader, you’re not plugged in right now but listen up.

Look, I know my G5 is the neatest thing and it has tons of power. But it only has room for 3 of you. Some of you are just going to have to be happy hanging out elsewhere. You don’t think the keyboard is powerful enough but Mr. Mouse here isn’t complaining, is he? Look, I have a gorgeous Apple Cinema Display 23″ who was nice enough to get its USB power without needing a USB port with 2 slots for you to play in. And see here? Even the old Studio Display has 4! How about the nice little Belkin USB hub *with its own power cord.* Why is that not good enough? Don’t look away from me Mr. Wacom! *You* are the worst of them all and won’t even turn on your nice little amber light unless you’re directly plugged into the back of the computer. No, I won’t go and plug you into the Dell computer even though it has 6 slots and I’m only using 3 of them. That’s not the point, is it?
