" The whole drive behind the USB on the mac was because they designed the IPOD with the USB."

Amazingly, your wrong about nearly everything.

1. The iMac was introduced in '98, the iBook and the B&W Powermac G3 in '99, the iPod in 2001.

2. The iPod was released originally with firewire only.

3. A USB capable iPod wasn't released until 2003! and it could only sync. on USB not charge. Full USB capability was not achieved until 2004.

It's really stunning to be called a liar by someone as ill-informed as him. Thanks for the data support.

I stand corrected. I guess that is why I never heard of the IPOD before 1993. All I remember was seeing a bunch of Apple computer users complaining about IPOD using the USB port. I guess they were diehard Apple users that didn't like Apple moving to the USB standard.
