And if I recall back... I think Unisys had the first USB prototype.

The USB peripheral bus standard was jointly developed by Compaq, IBM, DEC, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Northern Telecom.
Apple didn't invent SCSI - that's popularly credited to ex-IBMer Larry Boucher
"The original SCSI specification was a lineal descendent of SASI, the Shugart Associates Standard Interface, created by one Al Shugart, who was the founder of Shugart Associates (makers of floppy disk drives) and then Seagate. So while Mr. Boucher may have been a contributor to the specification (as I'm sure were many others), I believe Mr. Shugart should properly be credited as the "inventer" of SCSI."
anyway, jafro, i agree, competition is good.

I said they implemented these technologies in their hardware as standard equipment before the others developed the actual hardware "standard". I don't know what website you were reading, but it doesn't even have a reference to my argument. What I said is that Apple users got it first. The wireless technology came from Lucent. But what Dell, IBM, HP or Compaq laptop beat the iBook to the punch for wireless? None of them? Oh.
If it weren't for Apple buying the GUI and whatever development was going on with the mouse, then they wouldn't have been the first to put those technologies into consumer hands, would they?
Do a google search for Apple Emmy Firewire iMovie....

Jafro: You are my hero :goodjob:
as far as the Aiport Express. What makes it unique from other routers is the fact that you can hook this up to a Home Stereo system and stream your music from your computer in your room/office to this stereo WITHOUT the use of another computer. It also acts as a Base Station, and Base Station Expander, so you can increase the range of your network. The other feature to it is that it has 5 Different settings you can save as well. Since the device is designed to be portable, you can setup different settings for if you got to say a Hotel for business, Your Home system, Your office, and a couple of your friends.
You can also buy multiple Airport Expresses and make a huge network. allowing each Express to sit by a stereo or printer. There is a drop down menu in iTunes that allows you to choose which Express you would like to stream your signal to - it's a snap. Sure from a quick glance it just looks like a compact router with USB capabilities, but you need to dig a little more.
I love how EVERY Apple thread on here goes from a simple statement like I got an iPod, or Someone has a question about ONE Apple product, these threads ALWAYS get people saying :thumdown: or bring on this Huge debate about Apple vs PC. it's soo stupid. I've argued with you all before about this, and i've come to the fact that its pointless to try and argue this fact. I don't care what computer you own, what i don't like are people just saying they just don't like apple because of either no reason or the stupid reasons like - they cost too much. You get what you pay for - plain and simple. If you don't like apple, that's fine, but you don't HAVE to post about it EVERY time someone brings them up. When you people ask about buildling your PCs, or have questions about something, us Apple people aren't coming in and saying PC = :thumbdown: (at leat that I'm aware of)
ugh... im rambling/venting now. Anyway, for the person that asked what it can do - there's your answer. I hope that explained it a little better.

i bought an airport express with my ibook (and i got the 20g ipod for $69 with that cram and jam deal) they all work very nicely together 
and it's really nice how apple gives student discounts.
