Apple getting rid of Firewire?
It appears that Apple is doing away with Firewire. It is rumored that the next version of the iBook will now have any Firewire ports. It is also rumored that the next Powerbook will have only one single Firewire 800 port with the Firewire 400 ports disappearing completely.
I hope this is not the case. In the real world, Firewire is faster than USB2 for sustained throughput. On top of that, when is the last time that you plugged your digital video camera into your computer using USB?
