Thoughts? No FW800 on new iMacs

Apple can be annoying as heck like that but fw800 really is now a slow interface. Usb3 and thunderbolt (tb is way too pricey now but usb3 is very reasonable).

While I think apple should provide the adapters free (build the cost in anyway) adapters, it is just a $30 adapter from the new thunderbolt to what every Mac person probably has tons of FW800 gear.

My advice, just buy the apapter and think of it as a thirty dollar progress tax and move on!
