I would never ever buy a computer without Firewire, unless Firewire 
had completely died as a protocol. I have too many devices that work 
with Firewire. Yes, they also work with USB, but it's so much slower 
and there are other disadvantages.

My sister bought a MacBook without Firewire and loves it, but already 
regrets its lack of Firewire.
