You have no basis for what you're saying. What's substandard? That Apple
don't want to talk about it? Hummm.
 I can't think of anything more useful than my PCMCIA slot. I have my
24bit/96khz sound card in there as well as my airport card (Orinico,
three times the reach of Apples).

I also plan some kind of TV-Tuner card and a FireWire expander for the
occasions when I need multiple firewire slots. I can get USB-2 too on my
old machine (same card as FW).

We have, but substandard replacements when there are too few cool third
party products supporting USB-2 is just plain stupid. It has nothing to
do with embracing anything.
And why are you on the titanium list if you "embraced change"? Surely you
must have realized by know you should own a alu' book? Can't let go?

Because we meet Apple users every day? Because we advice companies and
organisations that buy many macs? Because Apple obviously need a kick in
the butt now and then.
