I'll bet they do suck a lot of power, with all those lights and led screens and stuff. Well, on the brighter side, I have the parts to fix my other one so maybe i'll give a powered usb hub a try. I've got AH on three computers but I only play it on one. Now if I can fix my other stick, maybe I can get my old lady to wing up with me. (yeah, when the cardinals win the superbowl, hell freezes over, pigs fly out my butt, and the kids develop manners.)
