[Ti] more speculation

[Ross Winn]

I don't know Shawn. Dropping support for the floppy -- completely
ridiculous. Abandoning all legacy input devices -- completely
ridiculous. Those are things that people thought were completely
ridiculous, but they weren't.

For the iBook the move makes complete sense NOW. For the Powerbook, if
the industry moves toward USB2 you may see it there as well. Why?
Because even though not as fast, it is a lot less expensive than
firewire.

For now Apple will leave Firewire in the Powerbook, but all other bets are off.
