Something to add to the below story

Hmmmm…..  Besides AppleInsider.com noticing the lack of a Firewire port, now 9to5Mac.com points out that there is a ‘new port’ (as seen above).  What could THIS be?

So, today’s case spy shots would reveal a couple of interesting nuggets if they turn out to be the final designs of Tuesday’s MacBooks.  Firstly, the 13 inch-ish case is sans Firewire.  Systems Admins will have to move those Boot images over the network now for all but the Pro models.   More importantly, a new port has been introduced to the side of the Pro model.  You can see it below.  The circle next to it appears on the 13-inch model so it isn’t an eject button (probably IR – strangely on the side).
