What do all of you think about Intel's new support of FireWire?

A quote:
The technology is significant because it spans the gap between consumer electronics devices and PCs. It also makes working with computers more like using a stereo system or TV because peripherals don't need to be configured: Theoretically, a consumer just needs to plug them in, and they are ready to work.

In other words, a digital camera could just plug in to the PC directly and download the images. No reason for n.hand.

Here's another quote from the article:
Intel will also be showing off Device Bay technology, which would allow users to plug a variety of devices such as a DVD drive or TV tuner into an external receptacle called a bay. Peripherals adhering to the specification such as backup storage devices, DVD drives, and hard drives would simply plug into a desktop or portable PC connector and automatically configure themselves without restarting the computer, which is often the case with PCs today.

Now rather than taking your zip disk from work to home, you could take your entire drive!

Hi, Dad.
