   Wow you don't use USB ports much? I usually do, because I am too lazy to   
   unplug and plug another USB in its place. This laptop for example I am   
   using four ports right now from the docking station. So I can still   
   release it from the docking station and still be cable free.   
      
   Although I can use four more on the laptop itself. And when I am really   
   desperate, I have an ExpressCard with another 4 USB ports. So that is 12   
   non-hubbed USB ports on a laptop. Not bad, eh?   
      
   And no, I don't care much for USB hubs either. I would if I didn't have   
   enough real USB ports though. ;-)
