Reply to USB Ports on a Macbook Pro

Hey Everyone,

I was believeing about buying a MBP sometime soon. My concern is with it's limited number of USB ports. the 15.4" model only has 2 while the 17" has 3. If was to go with the 15.4" model I might have to start using a USB hub. Has anyone had any issues with USB hubs and getting all their gear working? On my various PC's i've had USB hubs that just don't work or devices hooked up to it aren't recognized.

I'd like to hook up my soundcard, VCI-100 and in the future maybe a pad controller and keyboard.
