Subject: Re: Bring Back FireWire Petitions
I sent a complain in yesterday. The madness! ;oD
I have a 17" Macbook Pro for work. I asked for the glossy screen. I
actually like it a lot - but then my office window faces north, so
glare is seldom a problem.
All my other macs, both at work and home, have matte screens, though.

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. :-(

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..
