Why would I need to plug it into a different port?  That isn't a functional
requirement on my part.  And if it isn't anyone else's, I fail to see the
problem.  I didn't notice any difficulty plugging it into any port of my
computer and using it, fwiw.

For you, great!  I really like the Keyspan and it's absolute ease of use.  I
think I will call the Keyspan the best device because I value ease of use
and not some mystery plugging in all the ports non-issue.
