Hi, all -

Reading David's post, I had all sorts of mixed feelings. Glad he's back, sorry that so much grief is in his life at present, and hopeful that things will improve soon. That being said, I would like to just mention a little computer-related trivia - USB 2.0 is faster than Firewire - 480 Mbps compared to Firewire's 400 Mbps - BUT - Firewire handles the data differently, so it is actually faster. So, if I have told anyone in the past that USB 2.0 is faster, I stand corrected, sort of! Here is where I found the info - http://www.cwol.com/firewire/firewire-vs-usb.htm.

Sheesh. What's a geek girl to do?
