Apple is making a calculated risk (as it applies to power users) in the conversion to USB and Firewire. Apple knows that eventually the power user will become Wintel based. The calculated risk: Third party developers will come on board rapidly with peripherals that are COST EFFECTIVE to replace all of the devices that are internally as well as externally mounted in previous SCSI boxes. IMHO that time frame, in light of the fact that software used by power users is readily available on the Wintel side, is insurmountable. The result: While Apple is transitioning to an appliance mode, they will continue to manufacture high end boxes in a diminishing sequence. JMHO
