**OT**

Just got back from a funeral in Canada. Drove past the Corel building and threw snowballs at it. (Took heavy hits when their CEO lied about a $400 million profit then sold his shares and earnings a week later reported like a $400 million loss - still holding on and hoping that it goes back up so I can sell at break even.)

Almost didn't make it back to airport. (One of my sled dogs got lame in an ice storm and traffic was horrible).

<<FireWire is a replacement for SCSI.>>

Soup, I was surprised that there was no scsi port on the G3 but figured that firewire was the new direction. Firewire is a much faster & better bus and configuration system but what will be the future of hard drives and controllers -- i.e. ATA vs SCSI? Are the days of scsi drives numbered? Are there going to be firewire hard drives and controllers -- or is that just a dumb question?

I would appreciate any enlightenment as to ATA vs SCSI hardrives vs future of firewire.

Thanks,
Michael
