So we got a new iMac recently (our PowerMac G5 broke down...). Anyways, it seems like a great computer, but I don't understand why Apple decided to put all the USB ports on the back. Granted, it is only a temporary frustration to hook up a printer (you only have to hook it up once), but it is very inconvenient, to regularly plug-in, then take out a memory stick.
My 'solution' is not to use a memory stick, i.e. I transfer stuff via a network (we also have a MacBook)...but it still seems absurd to make it so difficult to hook up a memory stick.
Was this purely an aesthetic decision? Or Is Apple trying to encourage people to buy a USB hub?
