Definitely.


Agreed.


FireWire, USB and Ethernet are apparently tradeoffs for user friendliness.


You left out SATA, which is faster than the original ATA, but still noticably slower than SCSI.

Ethernet is related, as with high disk transfer rates, the networking speeds become the bottleneck. The 15" and 17" Powerbooks for example already have Gigabit ethernet.
