GAAAAH. USB hub was the term I was going for but I couldn't remember it for the
life of me.
Some things did have to be downloaded, but when my sister tried to install the
drivers it wouldn't finish the installation and said something about my system
not being compatible. Soundcards were mentioned, but I wasn't there to listen
in on the process so I don't know all the details.
