What are uses of USB in Series 2

[The.Mayor]

I am using 2 Toshiba RX 20 DVD networked.

What uses do the USB 2.0 ports have? Are they are only for networking? Of am I missing out on something really cool for these posts?

Not putting down networking, just wondering if that marvelous post has other uses. I have been searching, but I think I must be missing something?

Comments?

Thanks

John

Networking - that's it. Unless you want to plug in a USB-powered coffee warmer.

.... or a $3 USB reading lamp :)

Darned, and I wanted it to make hot chocolate on my network and read by my USB lamp.

Well, the coffee warmer (and the Foreman grill) are jokes, as their power requirement would exceed the USB port capabilities.

The coffee warmer (http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=142+0909&dept=&search=&child=) was not a joke.

How about a fly fan (http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/5dee/)? Keeps the temp down :)

If only it would take a USB keyboard...
