Or someone is simply confusing Unix with SVR4. ;)

I'm personally kinda bummed that the new macbook, despite having eliminated "all but one" port to rule them all, still has a headphone socket.

That's because you're mentally ill. Failing to discard useful features is not a shortcoming.

Wanted to clarify this bit, another USB socket would have been more useful. If there really was no space for anything else but two ports a headset jack seems like kind of a waste IMO. Besides, they could peddle overpriced BT headphones (meanwhile, my 4-year-old jaybirds "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'"). That, or I plug decent speaker/headphone into a focusrite USB interface.

Besides, it would be more symmetrical, which should appeal to Ive's aesthetic. (maybe, what do I know, I'm no designer artisté ) :lol:
