No FireWire in the new MacBook

What is going on?
Come on Apple... no FireWire in the MacBook? what the frak?
How am I supposed to connect my gorgeous Apogee Duet (or any other FireWire audio interface for that matter)?

If you want to use Logic Studio with your new MacBook be prepared to use a USB audio interface because the boys at Cupertino have dropped the FireWire port from the new lineup.

If you use a FireWire audio interface and have an older MacBook, you might as well stick to it.

Of course the MacBook Pro has a FireWire port but come on... let someone who knows about it more than I do explain it in a very elegant post.

The main objective of a company is to MAKE MONEY and well, if you and I are not satisfied with the specs the majority of the population will.

Let's face it; not everybody is concerned about making music with their laptops and probably what Apple means is: "if you are a musician why do you have a MacBook, you should have a MacBook Pro and shut up already".

Of course everyone would love to have one but musicians usually have tiny tiny pockets.
