Firewire is not that rare on even PCs these days.  1394 is now fairly commonplace.  Though 4 pin firewire still doesn't help all that much.
And though I use PCs Macs are pretty fucking cool man.  They just need to quit raping people on the prices.  All in all though, just because you are a Mac user does not mean you are an idiot.  Accentric yes, idiot no...  In a perfect world software and games would all be written for Mac (or another open source kernel) and tha OS would be 94% of the market.  After being around Macs quite a bit repairing them and administrating some, you find that they are easier to use and have WAY better applications available.
Until then, I will stick with my Dell Laptop and my three PC desktops.
