[Ti] more speculation

[John Griffin]

It makes sense to me. Since FW800 is backward compatible to FW400,  
the lower end gear will not be orphaned by this move (not like the  
floppy and SCSI abandonment). Let’s face it, Apple has stopped being  
the Leader of the  “Think Different” crowd and has moved into line  
with the “Me Too” crowd.

So, I expect along with the rest of the Intel world, Apple will  
eventually move away from its once radical and inventive technologies  
(such as FireWire) and will gradually slink into the beige, vanilla,  
blah, tasteless USB world.

Personally, it makes me want to throw up!
