All Macs come with six-pin firewire connections, while PCs typically come with four-pin firewire. The two extra pins are what supply power.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I mean -- damn, that's irritating. I want a new PC.
I've decided on the Tungsten T5, since it's newer, so I expect I'll have more time to obsolescence, and I hadn't noticed that the C didn't have bluetooth. I am all about the bluetooth. I can get a WiFi card if I snap. They don't have Palm bluetooth cards that I can see.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You could buy a Firewire card (assuming that you can find one with six-pin connectors).

Nah, I just feel robbed that I have a PC with integrated Firewire, yet it's all second class third world connectivity. Or I could just remember to disconnect my iPod when done. Whichever.

A powered Firewire hub is a solution to both charging while the host is asleep and hosts with unpowered Firewire ports.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The $5 firewire card I got last year must be six pin because I've charged FAQ Girl's iPod though it.
I don't remember the brand -- it was a dealnews deal.

Trust my rage
Just thought I'd share the following - on Friday I ordered via Apple and iPhoto some prints of digital pictures I had taken. They arrived today and look great - as if they had come from a print camera.

FYI: MGM sent a letter to my cable internet company about me torrenting one of their shows, threatening to leverage punitive action against them if they don't sanction me next time I'm caught doing it.
