One other point, these days it's hardly more expensive to buy a switch
(which gives the same functionality as a hub, but without splitting up
the signal into fractional pieces) than a hub. With a switch you get
the full throughput of the network to each connected device, with a hub
each time you connect another device that raises the size of the
denominator by which your network speed is being divided...
