I was looking at the specs on the 17" PowerBook and saw that it has FireWire 800 (also know as IEEE 1394b). So I checked out the FireWire page and found that Apple now supports the next version of FireWire which is twice as fast as before.
<http://www.apple.com/firewire/> This means it's twice as fast as USB 2. Wonder how that will impact USB 2? I wonder what peripherals will be able to take advantage of this? Here's an interesting blurb from the page: "Flexible connectivity options. Connect up to 63 computers and devices on a single bus � you can even share a camera between two Macs." Sounds like you can network with FireWire. Or does this mean you can connect up to 63 computers in target-disk-mode? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
