More info?)
Please keep me informed as well since I primarily use USB 2.0 but plan to ask
for an IPOD Mini on my birthday which is coming soon from my parents and I
hope to be able to learn more about the Apple side of the equation. After I
am satisfied with that then I hope to learn more about the Unix/Linux side of
the equation. All the while I plan to continue examining and throughly
learning 98SE, MS-DOS, and even <groan> XP SP2. My next step before Firewire
is to learn about batch files and how they are used in 98SE.
