In the original post, he wrote "When I buy a new computer which has Firewire
800 speed," so that pretty much covers any confusion over whether the
computer he was going to buy was new or have FireWire 800.

I remember the outrage. I was at the launch of the MacBook Pro and remember
all of the discussion over whether it foretold the end of FW800 on Macs. But
it didn't and that discussion is over for now.

His FireWire 400 drive will work fine on any new Mac he buys, because every
current model includes a FireWire 400 port.
