A friend has a Mac which is about 9 years old. He is using all three USB ports on rear and needs a fourth for his printer cable. What are the options?
To clarify above - the 3 USB ports now have his wireless mouse plug-in, keyboard cable and backup cable. In order to use his non-wireless printer he must disconnect one of the above and plug the printer cable in to that emptied USB plug. What kind of adapter can he get to give him the additional USB plug for the printer to avoid this inconvenience. Thank you.

Not sure if this is possible but i want to know if I could use this adapter to transfer a signal from my Tivo box to my iMac with retina display ?
I am in need of buying a new iMac and a new TV for my home office that doubles as a guess room during the holidays. This got me thinking if it is possible kill two birds with one stone by using the iMac as a TV screen. Is this even possible or would i need to bit the bullet on this and just buy both.

If the Moshi mini can transfer video to the TV can it also receive video from cable box like TiVo and display it on the Computer screen. Even if the video was not displayed across the entire screen but had black bars i would be OK with that. This would allow me to justify getting the 27 inch iMac with retina display and max out my configuration as i would no longer need to get a new 32 inch TV as i was planning.

If anyone has any experience or has done this please let me know.

Thanks
