Unofficial Mac Genius
I don't really care if FireWire isn't standard on PCs. That wasn't my point. My point is that MP3 devices like the iPod or the Nomad Jukebox or whatever it's called with 20 GB of space, or digital cameras or digital camcorders -- NONE of that should be used via a USB connection. It is a sin (OK, don't take my word for it 
) to have to transfer music/digital photos/digital video footage at that slow rate.
You know what? It's the PC manufacturers' fault if they don't see the benefit of having FireWire built in to their computers. It's a shame they don't build it in, but it's a fact, unfortunately. So if you're going to use a PC (and I applaud you for wanting to get a Mac), then you'll have to suffer the consequences.
Oh, wait... maybe it is a GOOD thing that PCs don't have built in FireWire.... then people will see how idiotic they are to have to transfer all that stuff at a rate that is 30x slower.
