However, many are bus-powered (which they misname as self-powered) or 
require the addition of an "optional" power adapter (at further 
expense, of course).  I noticed the cheapest 4-****t USB 2.0 hub in the 
list that includes the power adapter is $11 (but I've never heard of 
the Anywhere brand).  The next one up is the Rosewill for a $1 more. 
So the $5 and $7 models are those that are bus-powered or don't 
include the power adapter, sorry.  It's possible you could reuse the 
old power adapter provided it supplied the correct voltage and also 
could push out the required milliamps.
