I that that may be a holdover from the "IBM" days of the Thinkpad. Remember, the "B" stands for business. Not traditionally peeps who pass large streaming data around. Note on the Macs, Sonys and Toshibas Firewire has always been standard. This slightly influenced my decision to buy a Toshiba but I'm sure it was a silly reason as friends I have who know hardware told me that the Firewire adaptor would be fine. Mostly I got what I think was a good deal on my machine and so far it's been extremely stable and has been working like a champ. --- Krispen Hartung <khartung@cableone.net> wrote: > It's weird, all of my other PC notebooks has > firewire, and then I buy this > amazingly fast ThinkPad, designed for fortune 500 > companies, and it doesn't > have one.
