Since the Powerbook only has one firewire port .... what do you do?


a) alternate plugging in the iPod then the iSight [vise versa]

or

b) bought a firewire hub?



???


I'm curious as to why apple hasn't included more than one firewire400 port on their powerbooks

(c) Buy an 800->400 cable

I think all modern powerbooks have two FW ports - but one of them is 800MBps.

The 800 port is backwards compatible.

juggle them.
i charge my ipod with the power adaptor it came with, so the firewire on my powerbook is usually free.
