The iPod-white IOGear USB 2.0 Hub & Card Reader packs a lot of functionality into a slim device. Attach it to a USB port on your PC and you gain six more ports, as well as a reader for CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Microdrive, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure Digital (SD), and Smart Media memory cards. Data transfer is simple and speedy, up to 480 Mbps. The elegant and handy hub is fine for desktop use and light enough to take on the road.
My first editorial job (as a nascent copy editor) was at PC Magazine. I started working here in 1997, when print was huge (as was the magazine itself), personal computers were well on the way to becoming mainstream, smartphones didn’t exist, and floppy disks were de rigueur. I worked up to Senior Editor, then left in 2010 for Consumer Reports to work for its electronics team. After spending one lost year in marketing, I happily returned to PCMag in 2016 to edit and produce the PCMag Digital Edition, which I’m still doing today, along with various other projects as they arise.
