[citation][nom]Crashman[/nom]I keep telling people it's not about opinions, it's about being right. All you trolls know how to do when faced with facts is hurl insults?The only reason FireWire is obsolete is because people don't use it very often. In fact, it's about as popular as floppy and IDE tech, and all three are on the decline. Yet some people will use the floppy to load AHCI or RAID drivers with WinXP, so that almost qualifies as a "need", and you have to ask yourself how many people actually "need" FireWire.Are there more FireWire users than Windows XP users?I don't expect any honest answers from a troll, just more insults. Go ahead, I can take it, and it weakens your position.[/citation]
If you like to stick with the m$ fanbozos bunch, or even be a part of it, it's your own right. But don't come up with the "being right" tune, supported by the "popularity" argument. If you can't support your opinions with technical arguments, you just paint anyone of different opinions (aka "not right" in your vi$ion) a "troll".
Floppy "need", in windblow$ xpire and $erver 2k3 installation, is just another aspect of m$ incompetence - extended by incompatibilities with some USB drives, which work in the BIOS part, to first load the "F6" drivers - but fail in the subsequent parts of the installation process.
IEEE 1394 is there to stay, even if m$ and their lu$er crowd$ try to deny it. I won't dig into the aspects of it's technical superiority, they are clear to all, except m$ fanbozo$.
I would also expect a diatribe about the obsolescence of SCSI...
