Firewire, anyone? (self.thinkpad)

Any Thinkpad user here using their Firewire port? What would you use it for? I read that we can make ad-hoc connection between two computers.

No idea, I don't have any ThinkPads with IEEE1394. I'm pretty sure the only laptops to come with 6 pin FireWire were Macs, with the 8 pin only appearing on PowerBooks, I believe.

But they dropped FireWire with the first "unibody" MacBook.
