If that was my family, I'd have got the house up on NAS storage by now, and my kids can fuck off, get a summer job and buy their own MAC and get an external HDD with the money saved from their student discount.
My parents certainly didn't buy me a computer when I went to university, in fact I built my own computer as that was cheaper than buying a Mac, and I was more than able to get by on that.
Dude, it is not an unreasonable expectation of mine to expect apple to stick their own FW technology on their range of laptops. OSX was for what? What was the main driving force behind that? Network integration with Windows. Apple want an all apple household. I don't think anyone would dispute this but AGAIN dropping FW on mac books for the sake of a dollor is cuntish.

Why the fuck would you defend that?
