Petition Apple To Save MacBook FireWire Ports
Oct 18th, 2008 | By James Lewin | Category: Podcasting Hardware 
There’s an online petition asking Apple to save the FireWire port on Mac laptops.
More than 6,000 people have already signed the petition.
Here’s the text of the petition:
To: Apple Inc.
We all love your products, Apple Inc.! But your recently refreshed line of consumer notebooks lacks the possibility to plug in digital audio and video equipment as well as fast mass storage devices. Therefore, we pledge to purchase a new MacBook or MacBook Air if you, the inventor of FireWire technology, would be so kind to bring back FireWire ports to those products.
You can sign the petition here.
I need firewire in order to connect my camcorder photo camera and hard disks.
So do i! I cant save and stream my camcorder footage for editign now, apple need to brign back firewire, my hard drive, camcorder and ipod wont connect now as they all use firewire 400/800. I will buy a sony now:(:( Apple please listen! We love apple, but cant upgrade to this new product!!?!
I’m in the same boat. Only option is to go with the MacBook Pros now, or go with last year’s MacBooks.
Your idiots!, there are adapters available that are just as fast…firewire 800….expresscard…..you probably suck at video editing anyays….
