and the orange/green light on the plug that tells us at a glance whether or not the battery is charged.

Grrr... I know I'm in the minority, but I hate the orange/green light used on so many electronics. I'm red/green deficient and it falls EXACTLY in my dead zone. I really, honestly, can't tell the two colours apart... even if they're right beside each other.

Firewire has better latency than USB2 and is better able to sustain it's specced data rate. That is why it is still used in professional video and audio applications. Oh, and we also use eSATA for the same reason. (Yes, I work in that industry.) Other than that, I think you're pretty much right on.

It's her "income replacement" payments that were cut off. She could end up destitute in a cardboard box, but the medical system will still take care of her health.
