Sad but (one can always hope not) true
Sad but (one can always hope not) true.. the inferior, but better marketed standard always seems to win out. USB should have died on the vine if people actually looked at ieee1394 and realized it actually implemented a *bus* — ie., a full internetwork between devices, rather than a dumb master-slave system. Sigh.
And no I’m definitely NO apple fanboy, the royalty pissed me off greatly but I looked at the specs and decided years ago that I wanted ieee1394 drives for my server’s external storage, rather than USB.
