Yeah #2, a Rio Riot (or similar) would offer a better value. Although I think #1 was simply making a retorical question. This post was edited by n4cer on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 at 11:46. |

Cool! Now Macintosh users can experience the joy of using an Office keyboard, or an Intellimouse with more than one button!

| A low-end PocketPC and a compact portable USB/1394 harddrive would also be a better value. |

Ok, where are the MacOS X Intellitype drivers I've been waiting for?
Every page I've seen so far excludes MacOS X. TL |

#2,
It is QUITE apparant that you have never used an iPod. Go blow smoke somewhere else, please. TL |

I guess I don't really want either a iPod or a RioVolt. I just want a portable 40gig harddrive. USB would probably work fine. Haven't found one I like yet.

| Ewwww, a USB Hard Drive? That sounds like a lame option--why wouldn't you go for a FireWire version? |
| #9 By 3465 (206.20.132.147) at 4/16/2002 2:51:04 PM |
| #15, because usb 2.0 blows away firewire. |
| #10 By 3339 (65.198.47.10) at 4/16/2002 2:54:57 PM |
| But he didn't say 2.0, and it doen't blow away FW. 480 mbps is a possible throughput, but most devices don't achieve this. You would still need a power supply with USB 2.0; you would not be able to boot from the USB drive. Etc... |

However, the tests I've seen indicate that FireWire is more _consistent_ in thru-put than USB2 is. That doesn't mean USB2 is bad. It isn't. It's a very nice upgrade. It's also not in competition with FireWire. They both have their uses. TL |

Has anyone actually _seen_ this IntelliType Pro driver for MacOS X yet ?
Regardless of what the press release says, it is no where to be found on any Microsoft site, unless I'm missing something obvious :) TL |
| #13 By 3339 (65.198.47.10) at 4/16/2002 8:30:31 PM |
| No, I looked for the sake of it, Tech, and there's nothing. Even the most recent Intellitype drivers (which aren't for OS X) don't display any actual files to download. Wait a few days, or get them thru Software Update, or MacFixit. |

I still for the life of me can't figure out why you people keep arguing about USB and Firewire.
Of all my friends and colleagues I only know one who has a Firewire port on their computer. This market is so new and so small, it's irrelevant who is dominant at this point. |

Soda,
Cool. At least I know I'm not losing my mind :) TL |
| #16 By 2960 (156.80.64.135) at 4/17/2002 10:00:13 AM |
| IntelliType Pro 3.0 for MacOS X is FINALLY available for download. |
