Agreed.
I don't think Stevie will ever go back to FW on the MacBook. I'm hoping it's not in jeopardy in the rest of the lineup.
Not having read up on either forthcoming updates, will these both be using the same connector?
And will USB drives ever be as reliable as FW for running of Mac Books? No problems with my mini but flakeiness abounds with my 'Books (iBook, PowerBook, and MacBook).
Unlike some, I've only had *one* problem with FW dropping out. That was on my MDD, which I think may itself be suspect in a few ways. Anyway, the FW buss was restored by unplugging for about 10min and zapping the PRAM.
