Computer USB Question

[Shainie]

I have 2 USB ports on my computer, and about 4 items that need those ports! (Picture scanner, regular scanner, digital camera, printer). I'm always switching plugs - gets annoying.

Is there anything I can do to add more USB ports? Is there such a thing as wireless USB? I suppose I'd have to replace the wireless DSL router I already have?

Thanks for any input. (I have a Dell).

there is a usb hub you can get that will add more usb ports. I have one with 4 extra ports. the hub itself is usb so i plug that into the back of the computer then it has a cord so the hub is on the floor with 4 usb ports on it. easier to get to than trying to get to the back of the computer. i beleive there are ones with 8 ports as well. here is a link to one at staples. this is a 4 port one for usb 2.0. most computer/office stores should have something.
