> were designed by the Devil himself a.k.a. Intel, who also designed USB "Full Speed" vs "High Speed" ("Full Speed" was the maximum speed of USB 1.0, 12 Mb/s, which also had "Low Speed", 1.5 Mb/s which is used by keyboards and mice. "High Speed" was introduced in USB 2.0, and is 480 Mb/s) Joke's aside, I have empathy for the pain of naming in protocols and systems that get extended and remain backwards compatible. Intel was the king at this.
