There is a port beside my usb ports on my dell laptop

It says either b94 or 394 or something 94 but looking on google didn't pull anything up so probably wasn't phrasing it correctly.

anyone know what that says or is there for?

3/9/2009 11:26:56 AM

probably firewire.

3/9/2009 11:28:21 AM

ieee 1394 aka firewire

3/9/2009 11:29:23 AM

ok i found it now

was hard to read and not knowing what i was looking at made it tougher


ieee 1394 port

lol at this thread

dont laugh evan... I am sure there are plenty of areas that you would be just as clueless about... such as pleasing women.

3/9/2009 1:00:05 PM

i've never had any complaints, jaybee, so i'd say i do pretty well in that department.

3/9/2009 1:01:22 PM

^ don't confuse pity with satisfaction

3/9/2009 1:06:56 PM

i'm not, believe me

3/9/2009 1:08:01 PM

The firewire port is where mac users insert their erect penises.

3/9/2009 1:17:55 PM

^ They've long since upgraded to firewire 800 for that sort of thing.

3/9/2009 1:38:46 PM

so what exactly do you do with firewire? i mean, i've never owned anything that used this (of course that doesn't really mean much). is it any better than any other connector out there?

3/9/2009 1:42:54 PM

think of it as a fast as fuck USB connector...basically. for external HD's and a lot of video/audio editing shit firewire is used bc of the speed

3/9/2009 1:48:22 PM

yeah i have a firewire port for my audio interface because usb can be unreliable as far as latency goes.

I don't think I have a regular firewire port on my new powerbook. I've never seen a device (video camera, etc) that used firewire 800.

I hope it wasn't very expensive port on the side of your dell laptop.

Mmmm, port.

exactly

3/9/2009 4:33:49 PM

I admit, I contribute very little to Tech Talk

But 90% of evan's posts here are belittling someone for not know something or just agreeing with something that's already been posted

The guy doesn't add any value at all

3/9/2009 4:45:47 PM

hello, my name is evan

i giggle like a little girl when average users come in and ask a simple tech question.

i agree with that part - most of his posts (maybe minus some apple related ones) are just putting some carets in and moving along

3/9/2009 5:45:24 PM

that's because usually when i read a thread in here, it has already been adequately addressed by another post

i add things when i think something needs to be added

if you go back and look through my posts in here, yes, i do sometimes belittle people for asking stupid questions, and yes, i do use carats, but i also help people out quite a bit.

3/9/2009 5:46:46 PM

Yeah, this thread was void of meaning or purpose until you appended the very astute "lol at this thread".

You need more carats. I didn't create that thread.

3/9/2009 5:57:17 PM

you create my googlemaps/excel/joshuathermonuclearwar program and I will forgive you evan

3/9/2009 6:46:05 PM

was the port on the left side?

3/9/2009 6:57:02 PM

oh, lol, for some reason i get you and joe_schmoe confused

i think it's the underscore

3/9/2009 7:46:34 PM

underscore_gang

3/9/2009 7:55:14 PM

3/9/2009 11:05:09 PM

3/10/2009 1:11:53 PM
