Yes, I am absolutely certain only one. I too was absolutely
astonished.
Don't worry I don't feel patronised but I'm not quite as computer
illiterate as my posting suggested, I had just never seen a USB before
although I had read/heard about them.
And they are funny looking buggers, I expected them to be round like
a mouse or keyboard port.
Oh well! silly me we live and learn.
Its a pity they are sacrificing serial ports to include them if there
are no peripherals around yet that use them.
