That's an interesting point, Ralph.
Apple is determining which models get which features with an eye on the masses.
I think the masses in the Mac market quickly becoming Windows switchers.
If Steve & Co. want to make the argument that most "consumers" don't need firewire that's one thing.
If they delete firewire from the iMac which is quickly becoming the production machine of choice in the Mac desktop sector; that is entirely a different thing. That would be a deal breaker with the customers I deal with.
I don't agree with the deleting firewire from MacBooks but what's done is done. They aren't likely to roll back from a decision.
They used to have a Black MacBook tax. Now we have the firewire tax. Time to carry on.
