USB 3 in 2008

[Dan]

It appears that computer users will have USB 3 in 2008 and according to this
article it will be backwards compatible with USB 2. It will be interesting
to see what the future holds for computing and technology in general.

In firewire 800 speed, the system (mentioned in the link)has to keep up with
the bus. Most don't, and crap out. No such thing as "back-pedal" in such a
scenario. Something to consider.... And if even such "back-pedal" is
possible, what's the pont in such scenario for faster hardware?

Profound is we're here due to a chance arrangement
of chemicals in the ocean billions of years ago.
More profound is we made it to the top of the food
chain per our reasoning abilities.
Most profound is the denial of why we may
be on the way out.
