RE: (OT) DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USB AND FIREWIRE

RE: (OT) DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USB AND FIREWIRE

2002-05-29 by DbbBrook@aol.com

I have been reading up on the FIREWIRE due to one being in the back of my G4. 
 I understand that they both transfer data at a very high speed.  But, what 
is the difference between USB and FIREWIRE.  

Is FIREWIRE faster than USB?

Hope you all had a good day, if not.  Tomorrow is gonna be a better day or 
not if the case may be.  AHHH Just smile at least.  :-))

You are more than welcome.

Try to learn how to learn. Said with a smile. Sincerely.
Hope you receive it that way. I did not mean it any other way.
