Re mchang227, what's your problem? Many people have PCs that are older than "half a decade." I recently gave away a PC that's NINE years old and still working perfectly fine. It's not unreasonable to expect that there are still a good number of people out there who still have USB 1.1. Don't strive so hard to be Hip and Cool that you become irrational.
except for the fact that a 2.0 device works for both 1.1 and 2.0 slots. And in the latter case is like 50x faster or some such. A 1.1 device will "work" for both types of slots, but there's no speed benefit.
Seeing as how if the device were USB 2.0, it would still work on your nine year old computer AND be much faster on a computer released within the last five, mchang's point is that it doesn't make any sense for the device NOT to be USB 2.0.
