Then at least put a PCMCIA slot in it so you can slide in a card to  
add Firewire, etc..  Otherwise people will just buy a PC laptop  
instead.  Even $499 PC laptops have a PC card slot.  My low-end  
ThinkPad z60t has Firewire 400 too, and it cost a hell of a lot less  
than a PowerBook.  In fact, I paid less for it than a 14" iBook.
