Can a computer recognize the difference between USB ports?
If I turn off my computer and switch which port a device is plugged into, will the computer get all huffy about it when I turn it back on?

In most cases it should be fine, if you turn the computer off it won't communicate with the device. If you put it back into a different drive then it will try finding the device, and see it's attached. However, if it's like an external hard drive you are running programs off of, example your drive I: or something, and you switch it, it might get assigned a different name and the computer doesn't always switch it's references, so I guess if you pay attention to that, you should be ok.
