Still have a T40p here.  Same problem.. not enough USB ports!   
One of them seemed to go kaput.

Similar story here.. I had a "spare" iMac G3 full-size keyboard  
with a numeric keybad that had 2 USB ports.  I used that for  
extra USB purposes - plus I liked the handy numeric keypad for  
data entry of receipts.

But.. I fear that in my case, the friend would need a powered  
hub.
