obviously i refer to the hardware interfaces.
if it weren't new and difficult, IDE/ATA/SATA (... get this right yet!) drive
interfaces would all be the same and all work, wouldn't they?
there can't be any other possible explanation.
it's not like VGA where all the interfaces are simple and the same  ...
just a moment ... oh, no!  that's all different and differently buggy as well.
i wonder how to sack an entire industry.

(have you seen USB-to-Go?)
