CF Apple Computer

I’m sorry Apple did this. I see no rhyme or reason for the Firewire omissions and just wonder what they can be thinking? I agree with the writer, that they value form over functionality. I’ve been disappointed for a long time with the relative fragility of the macbook pro case–no protection from bumping or scratching makes it much harder to use these laptops in the field.

I also didn’t appreciate the elimination of the floppy in desktop models, since it is still the most sensible medium for transporting less than a mb or so of info from one computer to another. I can understand eliminating it from a laptop, but a desktop should have more functionality. Dells have floppy drives and CD/DVD reader/burners–no problem. I still have a spare 12″ macbook pro I use downstairs.
