it's been awhile since I've seen a hub in best buy or anywhere else. I have a
few small one's I use for sniffing and other stuff I may be playing around
with at any given time. I usually can find them at those little mom and pop
computer stores on the cheap.
I had a similar experience at best buy about 2 years ago. I asked the guy in
the computer area for a hub and he said he didnt have any, switches were
better. Me being me I asked him what the difference was, he said switches were
"faster" :) I guess that's kinda true, but that's really not what the
"difference is" oh well, I doubt anyone is expecting super knowledge from the
best buy crowd.
