Re: OT: new Macbook wíthOUT Firewire :(

A fellow musician colleague of mine mentioned that he has a 19.95 USD cable which will allow him to run all his firewire 400 stuff off an 800 bus.  Might be worth a start in your research. Much better than waiting for the more expensive Audio Driver folks to come out with their FW 800 units. 

Bests,

Yeah, that's probably not a bad idea, esp. if processor is almost same.

Haha:) I'd never buy any first revision hardware, anyway. I'd wait at least for second revision.

If I'd want to run WinXP - I wouldn't be complaining about the missing FW and simply get a Lenovo.
I'm just overall very happy with the Mac OSX and would like to stick to the platform.  I'd like to stick to one platform only - that would be Mac for me.

Interesting. I'll have to see how things work out.
