Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Bring Back FireWire Petitions
The matte screen is a loss IMO for those looking for an accurate representation for image processing. I don't like the current versions of the glossy screen - will have to look at the new MacBook Pro and the new variation of external monitor to debut later this fall.
I just loaned my old ST-8 camera to a friend getting started with deep sky imaging. I guess SCSI won't be coming back anytime soon!

Hi Folks;
Apple tends to ignore petitions, but maybe it will help.
This one:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/m4tt3/
wants them to bring back "Matte Screen And Firewires on Macbooks (late
2008)"
And this one:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/MB1394/
want Apple to bring back "FireWire ports in Apple consumer notebooks"
Still the best thing you can do is send Apple Feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbook.html
and tell them you won't buy their non FireWire Equipped MacBooks.
Also, don't buy a Mac without FireWire too.
Thanks in advance..
