I don’t think I’m going to like that trackpad but I’ll try it the next time I’m at an Apple store. I had trackpads that respond to taps as clicks.

Hmmm... Firewire 800 port, but no Firewire 400 on the new Pro book. The cable for my video camera is Firewire 400.

I hate upgrade time. My machine ain’t broke, and I’m disinclined to replace it, but it is starting to show the years, and its time remaining in my service is measured in months at this point.

Is there a new cable that will solve my problem, or will it be camera upgrade time as well?

Thanks for the post. I’m in Dresden at the moment with my MacBook Air waiting to iChat with my daughter. The Air is the best travel computer I have owned. Ignore the troll who has been disrupting the Apple treads since “Aug 18, 2005”. ;-)

Photographers (I are one) are just realizing that the new macbook pro they have been waiting for only comes with a glossy screen.

They are majorly P! Od !!! Revolt is in the offing. Photographers and graphic artists have always been the backbone of the Apple constituency ...

AND WE HATE GLOSSY SCREENS.

Makes critical photo evaluation very much more difficult. The glare is unbearable. The new screens are TOO bright and crisp and what you see is not what the printer kicks out.

This is a major pain and Apple has taken a dump on their best customers.

Every Mac page on every photo site is raging with anger and disgust.

Here’s an online petition asking Apple to at least give us the option of a matte low glare monitor or screen:
