Apple Backing Away From FireWire
farmdwg was one of several readers to submit stories about Apple backing away from FireWire. The latest generation of iPods no longer ship with FireWire cables, but instead use USB 2... although FireWire can still be purchased seperately.
You mean I didn't need that 8" thick diamond cable I bought for my digital optical transmissions? You can hear the diamonds! Hear them, I tell you!!!
Doesn't that make me awesome? I am an authority. It only came with firewire. I din't know what firewire was until I got an iPod. It was pretty fast. I liked the color. It was white like the iPod.
One time I left the wire at a friend's house. Long story, don't ask. It involved making a CD. And then I couldn't use the firewire. I had a conversation on the phone and gave a bunch of reasons why I needed the firewire. My friend thought his house was going to catch on fire and he got very scared.
Long story? NO it is very short. But the key thing is that USB is a bit easier to find at Circuit City. It takes longer to say. Maybe Fire wire can be shortened to FI WI.
Anyway. I love animals. I want to get a iPod Photo so I can keep pictures of deer on it. Does it take USB or FI WI?
THanks you president Washington.
Oh, Oh! And their backing away from displaying video display, because the Mac Mini doesn't ship with a display like the Imac does.
That settles it: I'm backing away from this article.
You are checking your backups, aren't you?

Easy for you to say. What are those poor Mac users supposed to do now that Apple has backed away from the keyboard and mouse because the Mac Mini doesn't have those either? Hit the back button? They don't have one!
[ insert no-button mouse joke here ]
I tried to insert the "eject DVD" disk, but I couldn't because there was already a DVD in the drive. Now what do I do?
Never mind Spamassassin. When's Spammerassassin coming out?
