Need help from Computer Geeks

hahaha... now that I have insulted you...please answer my question.

My home computer right now does not have a usb port. I am thinking of getting a digi cam some want to know...

What is the cheapest way to add a usb to my existing computer?

Thanks Nerd!

I work with a lot of those types...

Nerd = Yes
Porsche = Yes
Life = No
Chick = Never
Wishes he could be as cool as the dude in the little green civic = Every day of his life.

Thanks for the responses guys... now to minimize my savings, where could I track down the thing. I've found them in Future Shop but would prefer not to buy from them.

Any comp. shops in the Mississauga area you recommend?
