The Mac Observer Spin: A longtime supporter of the Mac, LaCie has not been idle in the last year. Their entries to the FireWire and DVD markets are particularly important. More products in both of these markets are dreadfully important to Mac users and LaCie's offerings will likely prove to be successful.
