*nod* / Agree.
I’ve done my part; I’ve spent into the FireWire (ALL my portable hard-drives are FW, and I managed to get a sound-system with FW enabled). {And I’m *NOT* wealthy.}
I would snap up a FW TV, if a) I could find one, and b) I could afford it... I’d love to plug that into my SoundBlaster Audigy.
I started getting parts ot Seagate’s modular system, against the day they’re no longer made, iow, I have both the desktop and portable FW adapters for their adaptable drive systems.
