Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

Hi
The music-fascinated teenager - of any age ;-) - who feels the urge to create their own music, rather than just consume=download someone else's, they're in a no-win situation.

They have no revenue stream - can't hope to have a revenue stream - because nowadays music is universally freely given-away. So they will spend their money with extreme caution.

Almost to a person they realise that Mac OS X's plug'n'play advantages when it cvomes to computer-based music creation are something to aspire to. :-)

Logic Studio is available at a price all can afford.

Yet the very few multi-channel audio I/O devices (4 or more channels, both ways simultaneously) that used USB have failed/been discontinued - because FireWire has overwhelming stability and performance advantages.

Whilst a few manufacturers have produced PCIe I/O systems, there are droves of manufacturers, big and specialist (Apple included in their partnership with Apogee) who are even now announcing newly specced FireWire music recording or processing devices.

Their isn't an alternative technology available - now of in the near future - to subsitute for these devices.

A lot of these youngsters, whilst aspiring to the simplicity of Mac OS X, are adept at manipulating Windows PC hardware. What better incentive could Steve Jobs give to the hackintosh community to get to it, and make it work... :-(

Apparently Steve's concerned we're not all drooling over his unibody brick - some things do get through!
