OT: new macbooks, no firewire

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Andre,

Having a few moments to spare I took a look at Apple's new MacBooks.  
Mixed feelings. I think I'll need to see and touch to make a valid  
judgement. I too have eye problems, so the contrast may be good for  
me, but I'm a desktopper anyway, and probably won't be buying anything  
new for quite a while. Certainly the firewire thing is a major  
turnoff. I somewhat recently purchased two 500 GB firewires and can't  
imagine using USB for any major transfers. Time Machine with USB.  Ha!  
Ha!

By and large I think your comments are on the mark. We may all be back  
to bows and arrows before too long anyway. (sigh!)
