7. Where can I find FireWire Products?

      Once mainly limited to Apple products and digital cameras from a handful of manufacturers, today numerous companies (most prominently Apple, Canon JVC, Kodak, and Sony) make products that use FireWire.  Apart from the Apple and Sony lines of desktop and note book computers, most computers don't come equipped with a FireWire port.  High-end systems and many notebook models are the exception to this rule.
