I have a choice. I choose not to by the new Mini. If it came with a Firewire cable I’d have one on the way to me in the mail already. Since it doesn’t, and since I spent nearly $3000 on my Apple computer less than two years ago- I’m not buying an iPod. I can’t believe we don’t even get to choose which of the two cables we want our Mini to ship with. Ridiculous.
