I have to agree with Robert......
the average user most like doesn't understand the difference nor appreciate the
benefits of FireWire nor even use (or know they have) Target Disk Mode.... I've seen this
watching others for a few years more closely, and seeing that without a digital camera
and without thought given to the need, regarding external drive differences, it
it something that probably only hurt a handful of MacBook users, like not having
a slot hurt expanding the unit... but again, only to a small handful.
That dual use slot (for USB/eSATA) would have been a nice offering, and so would
have been a card slot - so we could put it back, but again, paying for what they don't even
know they have.... is better if left off, FOR APPLE - because now they're paying MORE for what they
don't know they DON'T have.
