I've just been asked if I have a USB Sub station.
Could be handy in a power cut!!!
Explain that you did have, but thieves nicked all the copper earthing wire out of it and it's no longer safe to use
But presumably only if everything ran on 5V :)Quote:

And what was this 'USB sub station' going to be used for? I am presuming they meant a USB hub?
Maybe they meant this thing - Aquarius Submarine Shaped 58-in-1 USB 2.0 Hub/Card Reader/Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle - Black: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories, or maybe a dock yard for storing them in!
Nice sub hub, bubQuote:

They did indeed mean a USB hub.
You just HAVE to buy one of those and pass it to them!
perhaps its a usb device that makes you sarnies at lunchtime?
