You cannot say switches are "better" than hubs per-se. They are better for your situation. They are a pointless waste of money for a home network with 5 computers on it.
Maybe but around here the price for small switches has gotten pretty close to that of similar hubs. I got a Dlink 8 port switch for $100cdn delivered. About $65US. I could have gotten a hub cheaper but not much cheaper. Nick
