same niche market that Apple made popular ;)......it was Apple who made USBpopular, with their first iMac.....USB was also original by Intel, and did hardly anything for 5 years...then came the first iMac, and suddenly almost overnight USB was hot...it took PC's about 2 years to catch up, from PS/2

It wil have the same position as SCSI, Firewire etc...meaning CPU independent throughput, and higher-end systems, and more reliable.....
