True, FireWire is better. And if I remember correctly, they came out at about the same time.
But I’m not sure if Intel has any original product with the same level of name recognition as “USB”. Maybe I’ll be proved wrong with the next ad in this series.

USB’s primary design goal was to be cheap as hell while unifying the connector type.

They should have used “Bad to the Bone”.
Great ad!

Praise for the H1-B-visa foreigner who got the American’s job and opportunity to invent.
PROPAGANDA.

I was a classmate with Ajay (A.J. to his friends) at Hyderabad High and, yes, he had the babes dripping off him.
