Anne, when the iMacs were introduced there WEREN'T any "slow" USB
ports; just the ones Apple used. These USB ports were faster than
serial and about equivalent to SCSI. After pooh-poohing Apple's USB
route, the PC drones decided to jump on the bandwagon, but waited
for USB2 and then immediately started being snide about USB 1.1's
speed. Of course Apple has beaten them again with FireWire. If you
want to add a speedy port to the Rev A - D iMacs, then get Sonnet's
HARMONi upgrade: It gives you a Firewire port and a faster processor.
I like my Macs, but you can also be snide about Apple's USB2 support;
it is markedly slower than the Windows USB2 support.

But not much compares with Windows dedicated refusal to support USB
1; USB was on mainboards for YEARS before you could actually do
anything with it. We called it "Unuseable Serial Bus".
