I like David Pogues reviews, he seems to value sensible features. Compared
to Mossberg in the Wall St Journal, I'd listen to Pogue. Mossberg never
even mentioned the firewire in the OQO.
And - the firewire is 4 pin, (no power provided from it) I think I read that
in Pogue's article. That's to be expected, they're trying to conserve
battery life.

Actually - it has firewire, he didn't mention if it is 4 pin or 6 pin,
or whether it's marked ieee1294, iLink or firewire...

Graduated Yale in 85, so I'd bet into / near his 50s...
