Mine is the gen prior to this - and you're right, looks like the new ones don't have 400, just 800 (at least that's better than the 1st gen which had 400 but not 800 - I notice a big difference between the two with HD, though others say its negligible.). Sorry bout the mixup. Anyway, Randy, Rupert

When did you buy yours? I bought my 15" MBP from the Apple store online three weeks ago and it has no FW400, only FW800. A step down from my old G4 Powerbook, which had both. I meant to say they have 800 not 400 (hence the advice about the cable), but I said it the wrong way round. On 14-Apr-

The Macbook Pro's DO have fw800 - it was just the first gen 15" model that didn't. I have a 2nd gen with both 400 and 800 right under my fingers. But yes, Rupert's right, take it back and get a white macbook with fw800 or a macbook pro. Brook On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 5:53 PM, Rupert wrote: > >

I dunno. Like I said I do passionately believe in freedom of speech. It acts as a vent for those that feel like they can't be heard any other way. Even the A-holes, trolls and certain orally fixated people have a means of expression. You might be right about YTs not knowing about comment moderat

You're out of luck for linking it to your XL1, I'm afraid. Apple's heartwarming policy of differentiation between products means they killed Firewire in the standard Macbooks to force you to go Pro if you're a Firewire user, because they think you're more likely to be an advanced or Pro user

That's so awful and sad. I know this is only tangential to it, but I think YouTube's hands-off attitude towards violent, threatening, prejudiced behaviour is appalling. It's a breeding ground for hatred, where people can get themselves more and more worked up, more and more entrenched in th
