Alright this is what I want to do, I have this crappy Thinkpad T21 that I'm gonna end up using as my permanent computer until summer rolls along, this is what I want to do though.
I have ONE USB 1.1 port on this machine, located in the back of the computer, I alreayd have a wireless adapter plugged into it so its taken up, If I buy a USB hub, like a 4 port hub or w/e, and I plug in an external harddrive and the wireless device, can they both send and recieve at the same time? Speed isn't much of an issue since most of the time I'll be running things OFF of the harddrive instead of dragging it onto my desktop (music, word documents, etc.), and can I comfortably surf the internet without noticing any problems?? Its kind of a weird situation but hey, what can you do !
