Re: OT: new Macbook wíthOUT Firewire :(

The idea behind the  "Pro" line is that it contains features that most folks won't use/don't need/don't want to pay for.  There's a jillion USB 2.0 devices out there (hard drives, scanners, printers, audio interfaces) that covers the majority of Mac users.  For the "power" user, there's the MacBook Pro line which does have Firewire.  However, demand for dinky 12" screens is pretty thin at that price point, so the smallest you can get is 15".  You're in that small small market share that wants a tiny screen on a full-featured box.

Obviously, for looping this really sucks. Now, what to do? I would be willing to pay extra $$ for a 12"/13" MacBookPro if it had firewire, but there is none.
I was really getting comfortable on the Mac OSX platform with Logic and now (finally :-) with Moebius on Mac. But I don't plan to carry a big 15,4" MacBookPro around. So...
