Interesting things to Linux people:

I bought the stupidest (but possibly useful despite that) USB peripheral
I'd seen: a little flex light. 5v * 200mA = 1W if I remember anything at
all. 1W ?!? Ah well. I don't think it needs a Linux driver even. :)

In the "also very cool" department, QPS had interlocking FireWire drives
(looked like they used 2.5" drives inside). Up to 6 were powered by the
port (and only ONE FireWire cable), and you could stack up to 12 with an
AC adapter. They were very small and very sleek.
