Of course, a firewire one is even faster.

That doesn't seem to matter enough to swing monitor sales Apple's
way... not even for yourself...

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.

I'm not responsible for your reinterpretation of what I wrote.
I have mentioned the lexar reader I'm using on numerous
occasions, including this thread, and have never once said
anything about the "advantages" of an Apple monitor. I doubt I
will ever buy an Apple monitor, the Dell flat panels (so far)
perform more than well enough and have had no reliability
problems (crosses fingers).

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."

No, it doesn't. I have compared it with both USB 2 and Firewire
readers. More importantly, this isn't "news", it was discussed
in numerous places (I think in this very newsgroup as well) at
least a year ago or longer.

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.

Here's an idea for you. Stop making stuff up, then pretending
like I wrote it. That isn't even close to what happened.

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.

lol
