Anyone considered building a PC whose only means of talking to the world is a USB port? It looks like there are about 100 different monitors that do USB now, and with a keyboard and a mouse and a disk and an ADSL modem all hung off of USB... Anyway, Amancio says he'd prefer FireWire for the monitor (at it's slowest, FW can transfer 68 Mbits/S more a second than PCI!), but of course he's a video geek. 8-). So maybe a box with just a power connector, a FW port and a USB hub chip (to seperate the "A" and "B" devices). Maybe I should send this to Tony over at dell... 8-).
