It's weird, all of my other PC notebooks has firewire, and then I buy this amazingly fast ThinkPad, designed for fortune 500 companies, and it doesn't have one. Very odd. Not big deal, though, as a firewire card for the cardbus will do the trick. The one I found seemed to be a bit more expensive than others (as low as $18), so I feel safe going with it. Plus, it will give me two more USB 2.0 slots as well.
