What you call "trivia" is factual information about what's involved. You wanted me to back up my assertion, I've just explained all the background information for you. Now you want to call the information that explains it as pointless. Since you don't understand it, ask someone else to confirm it for you. You remind me of lay people who, upon being advised by their doctor, who actually know what they're talking about, say "pfft, what would they know?" > If you actually knew of some commercial USB cable that was being sold > that was incapable of handling USB 2.0, you might have actually > offered information that was useful to someone. Do you realise how stupid it is to even ask that? How many hundreds of brands may be available for purchase? How many different brands in different places that aren't available at the other places? How many that are fine, but aren't mentioned by someone, so people won't buy them? How many of the same product are sold by different labels? How many of different products are sold under the same label? -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
