Any Thinkpad user here using their Firewire port? What would you use it for? I read that we can make ad-hoc connection between two computers.

    Firewire did not have much staying power and quickly became obsolete except in a few isolated niches. It was the “Beta” compared to USB’s “VHS” – clearly better, but not enough better for it to achieve widespread adoption, which starved it out of the market and ultimately killed it. There’s really nothing useful that can be done with it that can’t be done better with USB or even wireless nowadays.
