    Can you somehow make them charge what the USB 3 devices are really worth?

    Yes. I can make my own and sell them cheaper. America!

    Send me your business card, when you're set up. (If you go through gofundme or whatever, you can tell them that you've already got one faithful customer.)

      My USB hub is just worn out. Looked at... * TigerDirect * BestBuy * eBay * Amazon What ever happend to the simple inexpensive USB hub ? Used to be $8 and you get 8 ports.

      ...and did you like those $8 hubs? In my experience, the good USB hubs are powered, and a lot more expensive than the cheapest ones you can find--but the same can be said for most things. If they're not powered, good luck actually using 2 or 3 devices on that 8-port hub.

        Who is ranting, certainly not me. It was a calm and considered discussion about the origins of the modern financial world. As least that is the way I see it. :)

          Excellent observations. What I found was that the powered one that I had was defacto un-powered. I was able to use an external keyboard, a mouse, and usually 2 or 3 thumb drives. After awhile (don't have an accurate number of days/weeks/months) the physical plugs started losing their ability to physically connect. Then again, for $8, and the thing lasting 2+ years, well, pretty good value in terms of price/performance.
