   It looks “Alien Autopsy: The Sequel”.

   I thought that was a mentally handicapped circus performer.

   No, that would be “Carnitard, the Human Necrosis” that eats himself in ring #3!

   after looking at those pictures, I’m hoping they eventually move the lock to make room for a Firewire. There is plenty of room.

   But then again, I wanted one on the Time Machine, along with an Airtunes port.

   The new machines look great, but the only thing I’m really unhappy with is that Apple doesn’t include the necessary video adapter cables anymore. That certainly adds a lot to the cost of the machine and when combined with the lack of an Apple Remote, it seems we’re slowly getting less for more.

   I’m looking at the same pics and it seems to me that to put in FireWire they would have to take out one of the USB’s.

    Look at picture #11.
    The lock could be relocated, possibly to the back, the circuit board expanded and a port added, with the audio ports moved toward the front utilizing the space left from the lock.
    I know there would be more to it than this, but what I was looking at was the space between the back of the laptop and the mid brace (my term).
    Actually, the lock may have to be on the other side because of the lids action when opened.
    But you know, even if they drop a USB, it would be better.

    Nick Fury, “I thought that was a mentally handicapped circus performer.” Unitard.

    No Nick, it’s a g-string for a one legged person.

    I’m guessing they took out the adapters because too many never used them, there are a lot of people who don’t use a external/second monitor with their laptops. I do, but I have the MBPro with the DVI port and use a DVI LCD, my MB Pro came with a DVI to VGA adapter which I have never used.

    “. . . it’s a g-string for a one legged person.”

    Interesting. But it probably sounds and smells more like an A-string.

    I saw them in person at my local Apple Store. They look amazing. That clicking touch pad is very nice. You get a noticeable click that you can feel and hear, like a real button; it’s not a pressure sensitive deal or a separate tap. Only the side closest to the user clicks down; the far edge of the touch pad does not click down. I think the new touch pad is my favorite new feature of these MacBooks.

    The screen looks great. The glass-in-front-of-LCD design works better in this form factor than on an iMac, probably because the glass surface is really close to the LCD.
