  USB Hardware riddle

Hello there!

A friend of mine has bought a new Laptop and tried to plug her USB 
Headset by Logitech into it. Skype and TeamSpeak don't recognize it, but 
when she puts it into the "right" USB Slot (she has two slots on the 
side of her laptop), it works.
Can anyone tell me why there's a difference which USB slot you pick? 
I've noticed that before on my PC and my Mac. On my PC, if I used a USB 
slot for my Headset or mouse I've already used, everything's dandy, if I 
put it into a new one, it wanted to recognize the hardware again. On my 
Mac, if I put a USB Harddrive into the wrong slot, it wouldn't find it, 
in the other one, it did.
*shrugs*

Any ideas? Is there a USB Hub Priority or some such idiotic "feature"?

I'm just curious, it's not that big trouble to just check a different 
USB slot, but I actually thought it was invented to just plug stuff in 
and have fun...

Regards,
Tim
