I guess everyone's into wireless or plugging everything into a router these days...

What I originally had in mind was, you're a dektop, you can't going to carry that around.  So if you LAN that means some other person with a laptop comes to you.  In that case can just get him to wireless to the router and LAN through that.

I guess you might also want to set up LAN between your old and new computer, I never considered that before.

Oh, you mean 0 Firewire ports.  I though you mean you can't get 2, and I was thinking why the hell would you ever need more than 1 Firewire.

That's weird because my motherboard is mid end, and I have both eSata and Firewire.
