Bah. Jobs apparently is fascinated with the idea of a computer as a jumble of components connected with a mess of cables. :P I use Compact Flash cards in my Toshiba laptop with a PC Card adaptor. So with no slots on a fancy new PowerBook I'd have to tote along my Lexar USB PC Card/Smart Media reader. Mo' cables, mo' space, mo' CLUTTER. Apple needs a lesson in keeping what users USE and NEED. Like CardBus slots on PowerBooks, or a desktop with more than three or four PCI slots. I upgraded my PC laptop mostly because I got a great deal on one with an internal CD-ROM, modem and sound. All of which I had to plug in externally on the old one. With a new and slotless PowerBook I'd still have to plug external (but different) stuff in.
