Well, I'd call them "observations," rather than "prejudices," but if
that's how you choose to judge me, so be it.
My experiences with Windows machines is obviously different than your
own. I had six students with Windows laptops in my recent Photoshop
class, and NONE of them had Firewire ports -- I know because I had a
Firewire CF card reader with the class work photos on it, and no one
could download them! Luckily, I also had a USB flash drive, which
everyone could deal with, so I just copied stuff between the two.
But if Firewire is no better than USB, why do your PCs even bother?
Seems like an unnecessary expense in a market where everything is
supposed to be so cheap. Is it because most videocams use Firewire?
