Power Struggle

Our family computer has some personality quirks. Like... it has memory problems and randomly shuts down programs when its brain gets too full. And... the USB plugs in the back just went out, so we have to use the 2 slots in the front.

2 USB slots.

1 keyboard cord.

1 mouse cord.

1 printer cord.

1 flash drive.

3 MP3 players.

Which device will get priority? I tend to think the keyboard and mouse should be plugged in (though trying to print something from the flash drive is like trying to get the fox, the chicken, and the corn across a river).

They make these cool little devices that allow you to use one USB and have 4+ USB ports and they are really cheap too.
