   Why are USB-connected items repeatedly being disconnected and connected?   
      
   This started with the SD card in its little slot.  I finally pulled it   
   half-way out and that stopped that.   
      
   But now I see that the mouse is doing the same thing, even though I   
   haven't noticed the mouse ever not working.  The mouse is connected   
   through a 4-outlet hub, but so are the keyboard and one other thing I   
   can't remember right now.  :-(   
      
   Is it just a bad connection?  I've changed which port I'm using.  The   
   laptop itself doesn't have enough ports to not use a hub.   
      
   The Acer laptop beeps when the status changes, so much I had to turn the   
   volume of system sounds down to just above zero. It's not nearly as   
   annoying now, but I'd like to understand.
