Yeah - getting rid of firewire was a pretty lousy omission. Hopefully it will come back when they see everyone get angry. I'm glad I bought a macbook pro this January to use with my MOTU Ultralite! First they reduce the power on the firewire port (some audio interfaces stop booting) then they have to go and take it away? We've also lost the ability to firewire target disk ubiquitously across all macs - a trick I have used to repair many a seemingly dead mac.Alas, it seems that Apple has gone up another notch in neglecting its pro users.
