That doesn't seem to matter enough to swing monitor sales Apple's

I'm not trying to swing them. If you even paid a tiny bit of
attention you'd know that I'm running two Dell monitors on this
Mac.

I'm not the one who isn't paying attention. I noted that the
Firewire ports you cited as an advantage for the Apple display wasn't
enough to get you or your fellow Mac Advocates to purchase from Apple
instead of from Dell.

You are definitely not paying attention.

On can not help but notice the massive amount of snipping you did
before telling that lie.

I never mentioned a
firewire port on an Apple monitor. I referred to the use of a
Lexar firewire CF reader.

If that's what you meant to write, you definitely need remedial
writing courses. The way you wrote what you did made it seem that you
were saying firewire is an advantage of the Apple monitor.

Apart, of course, from the fact that he never actually mentioned an
Apple monitor. And the fact that he explicitly said he used a Dell
monitor.

It boils down to you comparing a firewire CF reader to a USB reader,
with you labeling the firewire version as a "normal external
reader." They come in USB external versions too, which are also
perfectly "normal," and that's what most people in this thread assumed
you were comparing. We gave you too much credit in assuming you
weren't doing an apples-to-oranges comparison.

I.e. you haven't been paying attention. These are Leftys claims:

1. "The card readers aren't, or they are horribly implemented"

"The card readers" are in reference to the built in card readers
of the Dell monitor. He's saying they're slow.

2. "You plug in a normal USB card reader and it flies"

Here he's saying that an external USB reader works flawlessly

3. "Of course, a firewire one is even faster."

Here he's saying that an external Firewire reader is even better.

If the Apple monitor has firewire,
that's a nice feature, and frankly one I wasn't even aware of
being there.

"Unware" seems to sum you up neatly.

So he can't do it right either way. First you try to disregard his
points because you think he's just doing Apple ads, when he then says
he had no idea that this feature even existed on an Apple product, you
try to disregard his point because he didn't know that. Amazing :-D
