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. > It's a standard in its *prime*, thus should be supported. 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. -hh

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.)
