Don't use it. Sometimes I actually look at it and wish it wasn't there. I haven't had a FireWire HD in forever.

No, I take that back. I used it once. To Target an old iBook's 20GB HD for temporary storage.

Even then, now I have absolutely no use for it. At all. You want it? I'll rip it out and send it to you. ;)
 
Okay some annoying people say: Yeah if you have a Hard drive you can use USB instead... But the problem isn't only that FW is missing, but that if someone wants to connect more than 2 devices, he/she = screwed.

Maybe there is more to be announced...
