Dumbshit.

"Supporting the old hardware while allowing the new" is *exactly* the
way an improved technology *should* be introduced.

Good God, you are STUPID.

Change the word "USB" to "RS232", or to "Parallel", or to "PS/2", or
to "ADB", or to "DE-9", or ...


In the meantime, have not USB 1 and 1.1 already been "moved away
from"?

Similarly, have there not been even a single new & faster standard
announced since USB2's April 2000 publication? It is left up to the
reader for if this question is referring to eSATA, or to Firewire, or
the optics-based USB3 ... or Intel's LightPeak.

YMMV. Frankly, while USB is good for some things, its not without
shortcomings. For example, there was the historical trade-off to make
it cheaper which resulted in relatively high overhead issues from its
master/slave and asymmetric design, which steals roughly 1/3rd of its
theoretical bandwidth, as well as a lack of real-time controls.
There have been significantly higher performing products available at
the general Retail level for more than a half decade which are clearly
better suited for these tasks.

Between him and hh, they manage to make the Apple Cult IQ come out
averaging negative.

I'm now at the point I'm simply going to block any of the mac groups;
these Apple Cult morons are making the Wintrolls we have look almost
reasonable - and that's saying something.

(Aside: there is a difference between an Apple user, even an Apple fan,
and an Apple Cult member. These two are examples of the latter. I
wouldn't be surprised if the human portion of the Apple user base tended
to want to shoot these idiots.)

You mean the way that yo spare no idiocy in defending that half-baked,
cheap-assed, inadequate, OS with no software available for it called Linux? I
see.
