You can pick up a USB hub that will let you expand one port several times

A USB Hub can split things out for you but there is also another nifty way to do this.

You can by a Microsoft Internet Keyboard. I am not sure if the standard "Internet" keyboards do this but I have the Internet Natural Keyboard and it has two USB Ports on it. So while it takes up one it gives me two additional.

This way you get a cool new keyboard and two more USB ports. http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/smile.gif

...just checked... you can get either the "Internet Keyboard Pro" or the "Natural Keyboard Pro". Priced at $49 and $69 (respectively). NOTE: I used a coupon a while back to get the Natural keyboard for about $40 at Staples.com
