Subject: Re: Bring Back FireWire Petitions

Hi Milton

I partly agree.

At first I liked the new Mac Book. I can live with a "Glare" screen.

But having no firewire port on a Mac portable is a killer! There will

be no compact Macs to be used with firewire Cams. :-(

regards

Chris

P.S. I did sign the petition

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..
