Photo one: My setup
Photo two: London Drugs
I do quite a bit of work on my computer and online. The two previous USB hubs I have owned were plastic and seemed to overheat. This new one is aluminum, which might work better and last longer. Last night, my computer keyboards began malfunctioning. I eventually determined that one of the USB ports was dead. I have three USB ports on my laptop, but I need at least four-five more ports on a hub, at this point.
I went to the local London Drugs today. The representative suggested a hub system about the same price as the one I purchased, but it only had three two ports in total, not enough. I therefore, bought their own London Drugs 'trusted' brand, hub, which has seven ports, plus two connections for power. I now have three extra ports.
The representative said to keep the box, because (paraphrased) 'trusted' might not be too trustworthy.
I live in the wilds of Maple Ridge, if someone lives closer to a larger city, closer to Vancouver or Abbotsford, and can suggest a better option, for a USB hub, if this one fails me soon, please feel free to comment or email me at

The blue led indicator (or red) reminds me of the impressive flashiness of keyboards and headphones from The Rage...
