Stephen Hackett:

The reports are true: FireWire’s run on the Mac has ended after 26 years. RIP, my once-fast friend.

FireWire was not only fast, it was consistently fast. It felt unique to the Mac even though it was available to any computer maker wishing to implement it, with a problem of circular reasoning. I loved it.
