Boris - I'm not a network engineer, but from what I've read about USB, it should heat up in 1998. WIN98 will have built in support for USB, and most new machines have been shipping with the ports for some time now, although there are none (or very few) peripherals available today. My understanding is that next year more stuff will come out, like scanners, where you will be able to plug them in via USB instead of messing around with a SCSI card and opening up your machine. As far as firewire is concerned, I'm under the impression that it is a higher data rate technology, but I'm also under the impression that it's a bit farther into the future than USB. Perhaps one of the tech experts on the thread could comment more about both! John
