As far as the usb concern the use of USB is increases day by day because it uses the Asynchronous data transfer which is way faster than firewire.

The best hard drives with FireWire 800 can move data almost three times as fast as the best hard drives with USB 2.0. Also, FireWire provides much more electrical power than USB, so FireWire-equipped hard drives can operate without an AC adapter, and at high rotational speeds. USB hard drives can fail to work from USB power, or require a second USB cable for power, or use the lowest-performance drive mechanisms because so little power is available.

With S3200 this power advantage for FireWire is fully preserved. S3200 also makes FireWire so fast that users will see no advantage from eSATA. Both interfaces are much faster than any modern hard drive mechanism, but eSATA does not provide electrical power to operate a drive. On a computer, an eSATA port is far less flexible than a FireWire port, because many more devices can connect to FireWire. For these reasons, S3200 makes FireWire the superior choice for future external storage products.

let us all hope FireWire makes it ….
we all know that usb2 never get’s even close to the speed it claims, usb3 will be the same all over

“I think the point he was making is that apple was one of the first major computer maker to incorporate usb with the imac,”

That’s absolutely false. Everyone had USB on their PCs in 1998 when the iMac debuted. My roommate had a low end Acer at the time that had USB everything, keyboard, mouse, and speakers (yes, speakers) in 1998.
