Apple is always looking for a way to replace bulky cables with a single,=20
thin cable.   I applaud them. They really understand and care about=20
usability and human factors.

They suggested Firewire to IEEE & TI, too.  Power + high speed data on a=20
thin, flexible cable that's truly plug-and-play and can daisy-chain most=20
of the peripherals on the desktop.

They forced USB into the market to achieve the same goal.

Even Apple Desktop Bus did essentially the same thing for low-speed=20
devices.
