Rocky, firewire will be great, when it comes. 'End of the decade' is not the 'near future.' Also, it is just a connection type, not a media. Bus types don't replace media, media replaces media. What are you going to do? 1) Keep your digital camera on a firewire tether. 2) Spend $1000 for 100 hi-res pix worth of flash memory 3) Spend $100 for 100 hi-res pix worth of Clik. It's your money.

So how do you expect to store pictures before you transfer them? Flash? Too expensive--n.hand will beat flash for this. Also, with n.hand (or clik now, probably) you can buy lots of disks for a reasonable price and store hundreds of pictures on one trip. Unless you want to spend $$$$, you can't do this with flash. Firewire is completely unrelated to this. Brendan
