True ... However what percentage of people are using Firewire for
anything other than dumping digital video? Or playing head to head on
Playstation2s? I'm not saying that there isn't a need for Firewire
though ... It's just that Gerard was saying that USB2.0 is a waste of
time and shouldn't be produced.
Anyway, connecting USB peer to peer is pretty straightforward
nowadays...
