We have been sorting out storage and found a lot of parts, components, cables, etc.
Some devices requires more power than a single USB (1.0) can provide. Therefore a Dual Powered USB Cables were needed.
So many memories…
My colleague was really looking forward to using Microsoft’s Universal Mobile Keyboard. It connects to iOS devices (i.e. iPhone and iPad), Android devices and Desktop PC via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the unit he received was defective as the battery was not holding any charges. It worked great when connected to a power source via micro-USB. The power cuts out as soon as the USB cable was unplugged. Amazon sent out replacement unit and it was delivered two days after. For some odd reasons, the replacement unit was also defective. Microsoft has yet to respond to the support request.
By the way, the rubberized surface attracts all kinds of dirts.

This is one reason why I will not buy Western Digital Passport Hard Drive. It has a built-in USB interface on the hard drive itself instead of Serial-ATA one. I prefer to have hard drive that I can physically mount on other devices through Serial-ATA instead of USB.
Apple Knowledge Base on creating a bootable OS X installer in OS X Mavericks:
Follow these steps to create a bootable OS X installer:
- Use the Mac App Store to download the OS X installer app.
- Mount the volume you wish to convert into a bootable installer. This could be removable media, such as a USB flash drive, or a secondary internal partition.
- Use the createinstallmedia tool to convert the volume from step two into a bootable installer based off the installer app from step one. To learn how to use createinstallmedia, execute this command in Terminal:
/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia
You may need to adjust the path to the OS X installer app in the above command.
Note: createinstallmedia is only intended to be used with the version of OS X installer app it came with.
