being in italy i can speak about that.. cameras and scanners are
more and more available in stores on USB nowadays (actually it is becoming
difficult to find non-USB scanners and especially cameras in some
places). I haven't seen many keyboards/mice on USB though.

Speaking of USB: i have read that bus throughput with a single node is
reported at about 750KB/s, whereas with multiple nodes bus throughput
falls down very rapidly (because of arbitration etc ?) to 250KB or so.

So i would not want a HD on it!
