Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

[Ben Holmes] "I saw that Walter - I posted in it! I know the lack of FW came up in it, but that's not my point here. My point is WHY they dropped it."

The MacBook is a consumer product. Consumers don't use Firewire, at least not very many of them. Nobody in my family, none of my friends even know what Firewire is. They all use USB devices in their homes. Even their video cameras all have USB outputs on them these days.

Only the folks I know professionally use any sort of FW devices. So removing the Firewire creates more of a difference between the MacBook and the Pro.

Don't see why it's a big deal. If you want to edit on the thing with Firewire, then get the Pro. I'm not going to edit on a 13" laptop with or without Firewire. I'm especially not going to edit on a laptop with a glossy screen so that takes out both of those.
