USB port adapter -> Multi USB ports existing ? Extending number of USB ports possible ?

[Thomas Jerkins]

Unfortunately my notebook has only ONE USB port. Is there something like an USB port adapter
which I can plug in into the one available USB port and which offers at the other side multiple
USB ports ?

Something like a simple, portable USB hub ?

Yes, buy a USB hub that is powered from the computers USB port.

Yes. I have a portable 4-port USB hub by Targus that's about 2" by 1"
by 5/8". Works fine. Don't know the model# or anything, but it was $30
at Worst Buy.
