FireWire R.I.P.

Edwin, if you look at the top of the first article you referenced
(above the article title, written in orange), you will see that it
is dated December 8, 2005, as JIm and Alan stated. The 2nd
reference (the Mcelhearn.com article) is dated February, 2005. They
are quite out of date.

That's not old enough to be "quite out of date." Especially not
amongst you guys who will dig up a ten year old TCO study and wave
it around as if it proved the Mac has lower TCO today.

Couple questions:

1) At the time of the TCO studies do you think they are accurate?

Irrelevant in the time they were quoted.

2) Do you think the predictions of the Firewire articles came true?

Whether they will come true is the issue.
