    Ditto. Some laptop coolers have hubs, so you can kill two birds with one stone that way.

    * Inspiron 8600c * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo * 2x512 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * 60GB 7200RPM HDD *

    You can use a USB 2.0 Cardbus adaptor with two or four USB. For example, see below link to an adaptec Cardbus adaptor.
