Two questions for ye of great technical savvy.... 1) RE: USB hubs - is USB really a "bus" in the electrical sense of the word, as in does it really matter what kind of hub I use to expand it, and can they be daisy-chained to create additional hubs if needed?
I only have 2 ports on the machine I'm using now, and plugging in and un-plugging things is getting annoying at times. I wanted to get a 4 or 6 port hub. Also, any feedback as to good or bad brands would be appreciated. 2) Is there any practical limit for archival life of CD-R's? I was thinking of scanning some of my personal records and putting it on CD-R for reasons of space (copies of statements, bills, etc., for tax purposes and so forth). Are CD-R's and CD-RW's "good" forever once you get a good copy burned, or do they suffer from deterioration, and if so, after how long? I figure if I can count of 20+ years, I'm probably good to go, but I wonder if there is any info on that subject? Oh, incidentally, anybody know if I have scanned copies of tax receipts and such if they would be laughed off in the even of an IRS audit or some such? Thanks!
