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.


-Tim.

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

and tell them you won't buy their non FireWire Equipped MacBooks.


Also, don't buy a Mac without FireWire too.


Thanks in advance..
