Oh and while I TOTALLY agree with both Sean and Tina on how cool (and endearing) Macs are when breathing while sleeping, gotta say the one thing I personally NEVER liked about ANY Mac design was where they put ports and outlets. As far as I'm concerned, this aspect of the physical design could have been done precisely to make things harder. I know, I know, it's not aesthetic to have to see "the nest" so that's why they did them this way, but most of the time, I can only appreciate aesthetics when they ADD to the FUNCTIONALITY (like the breathing which assures me that my Macs are OK and sleeping), not DETRACT from it!
The Mac Pro has a headphone, two USB 2, and two firewire 800 ports on the front just underneath the power button so perhaps Apple has finally woken up & smelled the java. Or maybe it was a mistake that slipped by his Steveness and they'll be removed in the next redesign.
Of course all my firewire devices are fw400. Sigh.
