Firewire in a nutshell, is much like a USB port, only it runs a LOT faster.
In some cases it runs faster than a SCSI-device. You don't see it
everywhere yet, because it's new technology (fairly) and not widely accepted
yet. FireWire is also hot-swappable.
You can find FireWire harddrives, CD-burners, and digital cameras, etc....

Can someone please explain (in simple terms) what
Firewire is?
Thank you.
