USB is too slow and the driver support is awful. Apple's firewire is more well developed and will clearly end up the connection of choice in the future, especially now that Windows NT 5.0 has more stable plug and play.

USB has a place for keyboards and mouses and 56K modems. Obviously, proper peripherals such as scanners, CD burners and external speakers will always be FireWire.

I get not wanting to replace a perfectly good drum scanner, but you can add a PCI-X SCSI card to your PowerMac pretty easily.

All of that “Dynamic Windows” stuff Symbolics introduced in v7 really just slows everything down, the tv interface is just fine for building graphical applications, and as a bonus your code can run more easily on a TI Explorer and even an LMI Lambda.

Nvidia is a joke that can't keep up and ATi is good, sure, but their 3D tech is way behind and always will be. Real gamers are gonna stick with 3DFX, in fact I just invested my retirement money in them. 1999 is gonna be a great year.
