Just looked at all my photography software and hardware items and its getting out of control. I have cables coming out my ears soon and need for a bigger desk to put all my stuff!
All seperate USB cables:

USB for my old sony 1.3mp camera - which I still use.
USB for for the Sony video recorder
USB for my new digital camera F828
USB for the LEXAR multi card reader
USB for the LEXAR jumpshot media
USB for my P900 Sony Ericson phone

Am sure I could find one more about the house.
Tooo much.

I have 7 USB2 ports on my Dell 8300 and an 8 port USB1 hub. I use as follows

Road Angel x 1
Printers x 2
CigiCam x 1
Camcorder x 1
Golf Watch x 1
Ext HDD x 2
HP Ipaq x 1
P800 x 1

1 of the 7 on the Dell is used by the hub, which is much slower that the others.

Yeah there are too many and the computer draws totally clogged up with all these cables. Hopefully they will eliminate some of this in the future by replacing it with infrared technology or something else, to get rid of the cables.
