I always see comments like this and wonder what they expected from firewire. I've never had trouble finding firewire hard drives and peripherals. Best Buy and CompUSA always carried them (staples and office depot never really carried them, but firewire is/was only useful for needing large/fast throughput like that needed for video editing). Firewire was never as ubiquitous as USB and I don't believe Apple ever intended it to be, but it was far from being a failure.
