There's a list of the top ten obsolete ports at CNet.uk. There's a bruhaha stirring in the comments about them predicting the demise of firewire. Don't think that will happen as long as Apple stays in business. They also predict the death of SCSI. Ridiculous! You might as well predict that Unix will go away. Can we say dumbasses? SCSI (pronounced scuzzy) still offers uber stability, staying power, speed, and wunnerful noises. They sound like jet planes when they wind up from a dead stop. Yes, you do need a witchdoctor when dealing with termination or device IDs, but I happen to know several. As a matter of fact, eye r 1(sic)! It'll take a while to phase out SCSI from the ranks of serving machines and Cnet's link to Infiniband is interesting. Hey, you have to take this article with a grain of salt. It's obvious humor has been attempted...here and at CNet-England. Later.
