And they're USB 2.0 as well.

Of course you could have just gone to the Apple Store and looked up the specs for yourself...

Why go to the Apple store and spend time and effort when you can have someone else do it for you?

Don't you people know anything?

No PCMCIA cuz it's too long of a acronym and nobody knows what it means.

It's an acronym for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, the organization that developed and codified the standard.

And PCMCIA (usually just called "PC cards" nowadays) is useful in many situation, like when it turns out your laptop has only USB 1.1 or only a 4-pin firewire port (my Dell laptop is a prime example) and you need to upgrade or enhance those ports. But the field of PC cards has stopped expanding and growing and today it seems that the cards available are the same basic cards that were available two years ago-though they cost less.

I always thought it was People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms.

A few new PCMCIA cards available in the past couple years are Serial ATA (and e.SATA), EVDO, FW800, and video cards with DVI. But the pace and options are relatively lackluster compared to PCI; perhaps the new PCIe-derived laptop card format will help with that.
