Was This Obvious To Everyone But Me?
The LCD monitors sold by Dell and Apple (and probably others) have USB hubs built into them. It finally occured to me that it's useful to have the keyboard and mouse run through the hub, because if the monitor is off you (or at least I) don't really want to tap enter and do something bad in a window you couldn't see. There is also the cat factor to consider. If the monitor is off, no inputs are processed; the screen has to be on to enter any inputs. (It's possible this is only for my Dell model, but I'd imagine most others do the same).
