Alright - I have a brand-new 20" iMac G5 - it's bad ass. But has any one else experianced power issues with the USB slots?

I am using the mac key board and mac mouse, and have a printer plugged into the ports. I got an extra kensington 4-port hub, but whenever anything is plugged into it I get told there is insufficient power - same things happens if I try to plug into my Apple key board. It doesnt matter if it's a camera plug, flash drive, or anything.

Any recomendations? Are there powered hubs??

WTF?!

The Apple key board is a low power hub, it can only provide 100mA to devices (it's also low speed (12Mbps), so you don't really want to use it for anything but mice and joysticks). If your Kensington hub is also a low power hub, then you have the same problem. Look for a USB hub with an AC adapter to provide more power (500mA) to all the ports.

Thanks man - any recomendations on brands that are AC powered?? Possibly with USB as well as Firewire?
