I've had this and the AllSpark one preordered for a couple weeks now. I don't need them, I just support the idea of incorporating practical use into real TFs. The dream is REAL RealGears, and it's gotta start somewhere.

I'm not computers or anything, so i don't know about stuff like this. How much would a plain old dodad like that run, cause I could use one in the field, and I don't think dragging around a Prime head is all that practical.

Do they make them smaller?

Yes, I realy don't know about this crap!

I'll pass on this one too, the head of Prime on my desk seems too creepy to me.

The Allspark hub is a better option to me.

Just a plain ol' USB hub? You're looking between probably $30-100ish depending on how nice of a hub you want. Check places like Circuit City online or something. Here's a nice example:

Logitech 4-port USB hub

You can find these things just about anywhere that sells computer stuff. Happy hunting!

It's ok if you want Primes head staring at you with those blue eyes. If i needed one though i might think about it. Really cool for the diehard though.
