Thank You for Listing!

We publish a twice-monthly trade newspaper, and I only need a CD/DVD drive every other issue or so. All our ads come by email or online, with only an occasional exception.

I’ve gotta agree with gaetano — the future of both information and entertainment transmission is online.

Kevin Crays has a point, but I think it’s likely someone will solve all the issues someday, so one can buy all the content now provided on DVD, in a package available for their cell phone to download and play, with the same or cheaper cost. At that point, what will be the use of CD/DVD players in any device?

Thanks Sean, that makes perfect sense. I guess you can tell I’m not a frequent flyer…

Further thoughts on this laptop. It’s hard to believe that the minaturisation technology in the MBA won’t find itself in other Apple products that are super thin or super small yet full featured devices running a subset of Leopard. Since the first MacPlus with its insufficient memory and add on drive, through the the floppyless iMac with its frustrating round mouse Steve has always gone for underpowered machines with kinky set-ups that scream fun and elan and which frequently manage to change the industry. Given his track record I’m inclined to give his “hunches” the benefit of the doubt over those who are filling the internets with practical reasons why this bee won’t fly. And maybe they’re right but Apple rarely does things on a whim and I imagine there was a fair amount of internal discussion before the go-ahead was given.

I think Macbook Pro is really neat laptop, it looks nice and it has a plenty of power.

I used to listen to Steve last year and I was fan of him, and now I figured out that he is falling in love with him self, and I think he is going to hurt Mac so bad.
