Computer Science major, Franklin University Online. Don't know what year I would be considered, I'm half-time till I finish in about 3-4 semesters.

You also have the option of getting a PCMCIA firwire card with 6-pin connections in it (if you really want a Windows laptop), and then you can have your bus-powered firewire stuff.

Heres an option, so when you are not using the firewire, you can pull the cable but leave the card in, but no big protruding plastic piece.
