Yes I am a tech but in my naivete I just presumed all USB was backward compatible. So I bought one of those all in one PC's because space was tight. It is pretty cool except the USB ports are on the back, no biggie just get a USB hub to put the ports out front right? Don't care about the mouse and keyboard but also don't want to go hunting around the back of the monitor every time I want to transfer files with a thumb drive.
I asked this question on the internet and started a firestorm, yes, yes, yes, NO!, YES!
Thing is we have a drawer full of USB drive some of which could go as far back as 1.0.

And yes I now fire wire is better , blah, blah, blah...
