I think I burned a bacup of photos

deal breaker. This is very disapponting of apple. They used to give more functionality in upgrades. Now they're taking things out. Many people rely on FireWire. Not only pros. Many consumer video cams use it. As many others have said-iMovie. And audio recording. And many people want portabilty over having the top specs but need mid level performance. I was waiting for this upgrade but without FireWire they lose my business. Not to mention my advocacy of apple to my customers. They need to put it back in. Everyone needs to write their complaints on this to apple. Whether or not u need FireWire. I hate to see apple change their quality as a company. Don't allow them to become another microsoft. Put them in check and let them know that bad change is not acceptable.

nice setup

need me a hdtv

what were your past macs?-especially the "bong!" one?(even old apples)

--hehe-if your mac makes the other bong sound(bubbles) you should be worried - unless u use the aquarium screensaver.

im surprised amidst all the ipod/itunes news noone has mentioned the fact that in the last itunes update apple(silently) dropped support for windows 2000, and apparently new ipod troubles working on panther also(even though the new itunes installs). apparently many new ipod owners are miffed they have to get a new computer(or OS) just to sync their new ipod(s). dont they want to sell more ipods?

the damn cable/media companies screwed this up from the beginning. we essentially have to use a cable card just to get the digital equivilant capability we had with analog cable ready tv's. they had to all have it their own way. theres no standard for the digital channel #'s. so finding the digital channels on cable without a cable card is a crap shoot. and now the tv makers don't want to put them in anymore. so were pretty much forced to use the boxes from the cable companies. just the way they wanted it. big cable has all the power and the consumer gets boned. if the FCC did their job instead of taking payoffs from big cable we wouldn't need a cable card. the channels would all come in correct as they would with a card. then adding a card would allow you to have a guide and on demand n such. thats the way it should be.

What about people that want the drive space and the interface. Where's the 160gb Ipod touch apple?
