Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

Ben,

I think that both you and Winston are right here. The problem is that you are looking at the macBook through the eyes of a pro, not a consumer. The MB is by all accounts a consumer machine. It is intended to be bought and used by the consumer. Same thing with the iMac, it is a consumer machine. Now that does not mean that professional are not using these machines, but that is a little like off-label prescription drug use. To get all hot and bothered because a consumer level machine does not have what you need as a pro is little ridiculous. I know that I am going against the flow here but who cares.

Is this another LISA moment for Apple? I doubt it. Look at what they have done in the past few years. After the release of several products a lot of folks have whined and cried and said that Apple had dissed someone or that they had made a bone headed move that may spell the end of the company. They released iPods with no firewire, did that stop the sale of iPods? Nope. They released the iPhone with no 3G, did that stop the sale of iPhones? Nope?

OK, enough of this. I have work to do. Pro work on Pro machines. I'll keep my Mini to do stuff like post on forums.

K
