Sadly, Apple is walking away from FireWire. Their newest laptops omit it. Although FireWire continues to have many advantages over USB2, USB2 is just good enough to get by. FireWire is another great technology destroyed by our WFB's race to the bottom. So if you are buying new drives make sure that USB2 is included. It costs a bit more, but everything I have been buying these last couple of years has both FireWire and USB2. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
