Is it faster than using firewire 4 or 8?

forgive me for this but I must correct you on the PCMCIA card bus
slot. it isnt a PCMCIA. its now PCI-E pCI express card technology
which now gives rise to certain issues. not many cards are
available at present as it is a new system but it is a wonderful
system. primarily it is designed for professional audio and video
work as it uses a higher data bit rate and clock mode so data and
hardware sync works perfectly.
PCMCIA is being phased out by PCI-E express card slots but apple
owns the monopoly on this so far

My MacBook Pro has a PCMCIA card slot but my wife's MacBook does
not. Not sure if this is what you were asking about. Common use for
that is to get a PCMCIA card reader which you can then drop compact
flash or memory sticks into which then show up as a drive on your
desktop. I quite often just use a regular USB thumb drive to move
files back and forth or do network filesharing. I think the step by
step on how to share between a mac and PC over the network was
covered previously to take a look in the mail archives. CD burning
should also be fine and in a pinch you can always email something
to yourself and then open the mail on the other computer and save
the attachment.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Last night and today I spent time looking up programs I want on my
Mac, when I get it.
I found loads of programs on the VO compadable programs list, plus
a few fun ones, screen savers and the talking moose program for
example...
I've got them all downloaded to this windows computer in a folder
called Mac Software.
My question is...
When I get my Mac, can I just burn a CD with the programs on it as
like a data CD and run it on the Mac?
I think it would work because I'd just be putting the dmg and zip
things on a CD and don't see why the Mac would care what sort of
computer burrned it, but I don't know.
If anyone knows the answer to this that would be wonderful.
Also while I'm thinking about it...
The current version of the Mac Book. Does it have a built in card
reader or do you have to get that on the side? Either way I could
transfer the programs to the little storage card and put it all on
like that. But. I kind of like the idea of having a CD so if I
need to reinstall the programs again I'll be able too in a way I'm
used to.
Okay that's all for now. Any help is most welcome and thank you
for your help
Have a lovely weekend!
