How arrogant can one be. Most computers still come with FireWire. Most professional...

Just because I use a USB device on occasion makes me no Amateur. As far as I'm aware, The MBox Pro requires an External Power Supply, so you can't really take it to the Beach or...

HDMI offers audio but I have to agree that it's mainly a connector for televisions over computer displays. Given the thin line most LCD displays live in nowadays run having HDMI/DVI inputs and outputs on...

The other big difference is that, while DVI itself is capable...

I wish more computers DID have the eSATA port but well.. they dont. Lots of computers and external hard drives now come with eSATA. So many, that I have now purchased an eSATA card for my MacBook Pro.
