Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

Interesting points Paul. I don't buy into FW being EOL though - FW3200 proves it's got life in it, and FW800 is a perfect interface for mobile video - capable of dealing with HD (compressed), daisy-chainable (take that, eSATA) and robust. Backward compatibility is a boon too.

I don't really want to get into a discussion here about the merits of FW - in a way I think it's tangential to the here-and-now. It's still the most used interface amongst pro users. So, once again -WHY DROP IT? Easy - Apple wants $2000 from you, not $1300. I note this was not an issue when the Macbooks were incapable of running Apple's pro video suite. I wonder what has changed...
