There's nothing at your link. Exactly like your claim about Obama not
being a citizen -- nothing there.

Free and none of the Google Groups shortcomings (for one being that many
Usenetters block all GG posts because this is where a large portion of the
spam comes from).

I used to have this problem until I got myself a USB 'extension cord'. It
moved that USB port right up onto my desk with no apparent loss of speed
that I could tell. I still use it even now on my newer computer at work (a
6th grade classroom) so I can plug in my thumb drive and have it hidden from
the kids.

There is no loss of speed.

http://www.shop4tech.com/item2853.html has these for very good prices. Friends
and I shared 10 for $20 with no shipping charge. I'm absolutely amazed at how
much Best Buy etc. charge for USB cables. And don't get me started on Monster
cables...

They could also do something like was done with the EISA bus versus the
ISA bus with a second level of contacts deeper in the connector
("http://www.millbury.k12.ma.us/hs/techrepair/isaeisa1.gif"). The AV
cable would go in deeper, past the USB contacts, and make a connection
with the AV pins only, but a standard USB cable could be used to connect
to the USB contacts.

$2 is very expensive for a USB extension cable. I order cables from
monoprice.com. They have the 6 ft extension cables for $0.87 (if you buy
10), or $0.94 for 1, though shipping is $5.95 so it pays to order a
bunch of stuff if you need it.
