Esecasa, there's NO Firewire on the new macbooks.
Firewire 800 is theorically not an issue, but we'll have to test if all interfaces will accept the theorical backward compatibility. I have the experience with drives, even with 400 drives connected thru a 800 drive, we'll have to see for interfaces…
Okratron 5000, those few professionals (and here we talk also about musicians not necessarily pro, or even about families with DV cameras… are those who have been mostly Apple thru and thru for years. As long as I saw the point when Apple dropped the floppy, the ADB port, here I don't see the point, as they don't offer something better.
And remember, no more target…

i think apple is only focussing on making windows users switch to mac. all the rest seems to be not relevant anymore. including us, who spent alot of money for a good working firewire audio interface.
so what now?
i just left a feedback at apple.com wich seems to be the only thing, that anyone can do to make apple change there mind.
let's see what happens
