Great. Another proprietary bus. I finally thought that Apple had come to it's senses by standardizing on the PCI bus. So just what am I going to plug into this proprietary slot, a Firewire card? Precisely. Apple is rumored to be working on just such a card. I believe that other third party companies like Newer Technologies will also step up to the plate and offer cards for this slot, especially if the iMac is a big hit. USB is not expansion, not yet. What can I go out and buy today that connects to USB or Firewire... a digital camera? What iMac can you buy today that needs any USB peripherals? Why are you whining about a product that won't be out for two months and telling us there aren't any USB add-ons for it? Please, be reasonable. In case you haven't been following the news, Windows 98 fully supports the USB standard, and its release this month is supposed to open the gates for USB devices. Imation and Panasonic have also committed to a USB floppy device that reads 1.44MB and new 100MB+ disks at the same time the iMac rolls out.
