<DIV><FONT size=2>i don't know about usb.. i've noticed my pc with a keyboard
and mouse hooked up via usb seemed to slow the machine down. not much, but
enough to make a difference sometimes. i've heard this from other people
too..(network specialists) hooking everything up through the old fashioned plugs
seems to make things run smoother, especially in software like
cubase.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Here's my 2 cents on USB at the hoobyist level.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>IMO, USB was intended for the mass distribution markets.
You must obtain a VID from the USB org for a pricey fee that repeats every
couple of years. The hardware and software (device and host sides) are
relatively major undertakings relative to MIDI or RS232.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I wonder if there is a hobbyist VID that USB org has
allocated? </FONT></P>
