A compromised effort to salvage TB that is too little too late.

Saved for future claim chowder...

I hate to say it, shades of the Firewire fiasco...

Alan Baker
A "fiasco" that has literally millions of people using a superior communications pipeline than USB where performance really matters that is now in thousands of products?

Flint
I will also say this, this time it is through no fault of Apple's, however. This is purely Intel's screwup...

Alan Baker
I love how, when Firewire was way ahead of USB in speed, all you trolls could talk about was how Firewire wasn't really something that Apple had any hand in creating (it was all TI, right?), but now that you call it a "fiasco", you hand the credit back to Apple.

:-)

Flint
I wasn't one of those trolls. I was annoyed with Apple for their quick nickle/long dime approach on the per port licensing model for firewire, but I was in favor of firewire over USB for years.

Alan Baker
That's not what I said, now is it?

What you said was "you trolls" which I inferred from your implication was towards me as it was in direct response to my post. What you said beyond that read like 'blah, blah, blah' to me, but I got the sense that somehow you were erroneously attributing some nonsense to me out of your faulty memory, especially now since Google searches aren't as easy for you these days and all... :-D

Just restating my position on firewire and what it has been all along, that's all. Feel free to archive this post for future reference. :)
