Hey Nish, how are you doing ?
Yup, it's been months. I've been away for a while, got busy with new assignments at work and it feels good to spend some time with the base-mothership (CP) talking to very old/New mates here. Just for a change!
And please say hello to Rohan
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.

I have two on front-panel and four on back-panel on my desktop (no laptop for myself - it is for my wife)...
Occasionally I connect my phone to charge it via the computer (when I want it to be close to me while working)...
All my keyboard/mouse/printer are wireless...
No credit cards to read...
The speakers are powered from the wall...
No external drives...
However - this week I started to work on an Arduino based project and it takes an USB port to work on it...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Why didn't you ask for what folks had plugged into their USB ports, so the answers here would make sense?

Yeah, I should have, but the funny thing is, everyone except you has actually enumerated their devices!

It's like a test, read the question, answer correctly.
Ask for a number, get an array of strings returned. Makes sense in a computer forum kind of way.
Can I get a "BAAAA-AAA" from everyone?

1 Dymo Dual label printer (return address labels one side, postal stamps the other)
2 Seiko label printer (shipping labels)
3 - 6 150 CD/DVD disc carousels (love these, saves me hours of digging through piles of discs)
7 - Dymo scale (can weigh packages up to 5 pounds for automatic postage calculations)
8 - Nostromo N52 gaming keypad
9 - Logitech wireless mouse
10 - Microsoft HD webcam
11 and beyond, USB 5.25" drive enclosures (IDE and SATA) I had 8+ with 250 GB drives, 2+ with 500 GB, and 1 TB workbook, not to mention thumbdrives.
Not that I have all the drives plugged in at once, but if I am doing video editing, I may have a fair number of them up and running.
I have a Ziotek 13 port hub that I fill on occasion and an 8 port hub as well.
Printers (LaserJet and InkJet) used to be USB, but now they are network connected.

Well it's Disney, so you have to expect a few changes.
And other than Chewie being played by Donkey, and the addition of quite a few songs while the heroine Lydia Skywalker tries to cheer everybody up you won't notice too much (other than the change of setting to Far Far Away under King Shrek II)

I haven't been following any of the new Star Wars news, but if I had to guess I'd say he's the rebel with the helmet next to Han.

I like Star Wars but have never got into the trivia or speculation. With so many good and bad books being written over the years (Chewy killed, Luke married...) I really did not keep up.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the movies intertwine with the books if at all.
Say a picture of Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford and Mark has had a hard life.

I think the poster is formulaic, conservative, and trying very hard to bridge the gap back to Episode 4.
And I think that's exactly what it needs to be.
(and did I mention how awesome the deathstar looks?)
cheers

That would certainly be a treat. One can only hope.

She sighed, that was the tenth time he'd watched the Star Wars trailer. (from @50NerdsOfGrey on Twitter)
