I sometimes curse my ibook. No built in audio input.... and no bloody 
PCMIA :(

I'm surprised that there are not more firewire audio cards on the 
market. Other than the two Motu units, which are incredible machines 
with an unfortunately matching price, there is nothing else on the 
market. USB was not designed for high-bandwidth data, whereas Firewire 
is designed just for that. It seems strange. And what is this bloody 
USB2.0? Is there a need for this? Who's idea was it to introduce yet a 
third option?

Bah! Humbug! :)
