Support for USB is supposed to be in kernel 2.4 . HOWEVER, look for
LOTS of WINDevices on the USB. I have already seen external
USB Winmodems.
And in a year or so USB's day will have come and gone, with Bluetooth
taking its place and eliminating the very annoying tangle of cables from
what users can no longer plug into the non-existent slots in their
not-boxes. The computer, it seems, suffers not from the rigor mortis of
the auto industry. "The PC is dead, short live its USB-connected
successor."
But with the continuing erosion of quality devices by cheap,
processor-driven substitutes which don't work well, will the computer take
its place alongside a college education as one of the things people are
willing to pay for and NOT get?
