I can live, but I don't want to
Firewire not only is a pretty cool moniker, but is also a sweet setup. No Processor i/o compared to USB. It's like comparing SAS to SATA or IDE to SCSI. 9 times out of 10, USB will work, but Firewire simply does the job better.

Lately Apple, (Last 10 years) Apple has been moving the opposite direction of where they were. They dumped SCSI for IDE and picked up SATA. They were the first to dump the floppy, but now are looking at dumping firewire over USB. They were the first to get rid of the CRT, but now are moving for the glossy monitors and getting busted for using cheaper LCDs.

Woz was right, this company is headed down hill and lacking innovation.
