Query: worked, until it almost burned my house down...

Unlike most of the other reviewers here, the Belkin hub actually worked for me. True, I'd get an annoying popup from Windows whenever I turned on the printer or scanner that ran through it, telling me that the peripheral in question would run faster if I plugged it directly into the computer, but the speed didn't bother me. I got a good 5 years out of it, easily.Until I came home today and caught the unmistakable scent of melting plastic. Checking around, I felt the AC adapter for the hub, and it was insanely hot. The ventilation grille had started to melt. I guess that about wraps it up for this hub, since I'm sure not going to use it again!
