I thought the U in USB stood for "Universal", not "Mac only".

poo, not 1st....oh well...usb does....but ti used ti for the basic jest i think...

This is why God invented Linux: the OS that's compatible with every single hardware peripheral in existence.

No, wait.

Compatible, perhaps, but not usable. For example, video cards based on NVidia's chipsets do not perform well under Linux, due to the limp drivers.

So Linus Whatsisname is God?
No, there is a problem with Linux - not all manufacturers release drivers for it... so I don't know where you got that from, Nick...

ummm....... Linux does supposr USB, so your little comment is worthless. Now go back in shame to your little windoze computer, and watch it crash, again, for the 5th time, this hour alone....

wh0a....will stokes is alive :-)

Did God invent Linux, I thought it was some smelly nerd in the Silicon Valley circa 1983

Linux is nice. Unfortunately, while it works with hardware, you wouldn't be actually able to play any games or do anything graphical in windows programs(although Linux X-Windows can replicate most of windows' features and run most programs) due to the fact that the Linux kernel and other related parephenilia(I KNOW I didn't spell that right...) don't support DirectX drivers and the like. However, someone could mess around with the source code to do it... But not me. Got enough to do already.

me too. TI is going to have to make the software work with pc or it won't sell well (think how well the iMacintrash sold...)

Um...last time I checked, the iMac sold really well and helped Apple start turning profits again.

True. Its amazing what putting a previously-unsellable computer into a transparent colour case and sticking lots of slogans like "G3", "One Step Internet" and "USB" on the box does to your sales... :)
I personally wouldn't buy one. Why? I couldn't play Half-Life... :)

>I personally wouldn't buy one. Why? I couldn't play >Half-Life... :)

finally, someone shows signs of intelligence;)

FOOL!!!!!
(I like my iMac)

One would think so.....but obviously not.

Uhh, the imac sold incredibly well. Apple was backed up with orders it couldn't fill till only a couple months ago. Also, all newer macs have usb, not just the imac
No matter though, USB works with PC's, it's just that none of the pc manufacturers have integrated it yet. It was designed by Intel :P
Now I just need a computer with usb, and I can get the new cable.

'none of the pc manufacturers have integrated it yet?' blasphemy! take a look around, you can get usb mice, scanners, keyboards, monitors, a whole lot of stuff. it's not that usb doesn't work with pc's, it's just that TI chooses not to support the cable with their graph-link software for some reason. and should they follow through with that, then you better learn how to code your own if you want to use that shiny new usb cable.

Uhh... I'm on a PC and using a USB mouse and keyboard, in addition, we have one of those cool little USB "IntelPlay QX3" microscopes... ahem, anyways, I don't know what you're talking about.

I believe the point was made because the iMac doesn't have a serial port built in. Gotta buy an insanely expensive USB<>Serial box.
