Charismac vice president of sales and marketing Tony Overbay recently noted that there’s been “incredible demand” for the FireDino, which stands eight inches tall and resembles a creature from Japanese monster movies. FireDino’s eyes and mouth light up with fierce red and blue glows when he’s plugged in to a FireWire bus, and provides a bizarre and kitschy accent to your Mac setup.
The US$74.95 FireWire hub is still available in limited supply, and Charismac assures folks who order in the next few days that FireDino will get there in time for Christmas — provided they don’t sell out, or FireDino doesn’t go on a rampage through downtown Tokyo in the meantime.
