CWmike writes "Apple customers, unhappy that the company dropped FireWire from its new MacBook (not the Pro), are venting their frustrations on the company's support forum in several hundred messages. Within minutes of Apple CEO Steve Jobs wrapping up a launch event in Cupertino, Calif., users started several threads to vent overt the omission. "Apple really screwed up with no FireWire port," said Russ Tolman, who inaugurated a thread that by Thursday had collected more than 200 messages and been viewed over 5,000 times. "No MacBook with [FireWire] — no new MacBook for me," added Simon Meyer in a message posted today. Several mentioned that FireWire's disappearance meant that the new MacBooks could not be connected to other Macs using Target Disk Mode (TDM). Apple first added FireWire to its computers in early 1999, when the newly returned Jobs unveiled the technology at a MacWorld Conference and Expo"
