My primary computer has these devices regularly connected:
  • Keyboard (MacAlly iKey)
  • Mouse (MacAlly dotMouse)
  • FireWire HD (30GB, mostly used for backups)
  • DVD±RW drive
  • Router (via Ethernet)
  • Headphones

When I get on a gaming jag, I'll plug in my gamepad. It's a really cheap, crummy one. I'll probably buy a better one at some point.

I do have printers, but I don't hook them up to this machine. I am philosophically opposed to printers; we should be converting paper to data, not the other way around!

I agree. I've also stopped buying newspapers & magazines, preferring
online stuff.
Also cheap printers are quite irritating, I smashed my last printer
against the wall.

Sorry for being off topic.

Oh, I forgot to add my printer (Brother HL-5040), I see. It's connected to the AirPort Extreme base station.
