   and especially the link labeled:
   
   Learn more about IEEE 1394 and FireWire

   Basically, it's USB but really fast... used for external hard drives, CD-RW, video cameras, etc...
   
   It's also called the 1394 standard. If you really want to get technical, check out the IEEE paper on it: http://computer.org/multimedia/articles/firewire.htm
