jer22, it's not a stupid question, but I have to say that yes, you are lucky. Depending on the USB device, sometimes, the drivers need to be installed first before the device. HP multi-function printers are known for this.

Anyone remember quite a ways back when Bill G. was "demo"ing USB's hot swapable support for the media. He plugged in the device and his machine blue screened. It was so funny to watch him squirm in front of the media.

Yeah, funny how these things always happen at important times. Murphys law I guess.
