Firewire over Ethernet? Why no Firewire in Macbook?

Some people speculate the with the new firewire spec Apple can create an adapter the would retail for approx $700 USD. Wow that is insane! The real reason I think there is no firewire in the new Macbook (which i am getting next month) is that there was no room left on the logic board. Keep in mind that Apple has the bottom third of the back panel dedicated to the user removable hard drive, battery, and ram. So there was simply no room for a firewire bus. Having the Mac Mini (latest gen) I have never and will never use a firewire port. PERIOD. So do not fret, firewire is going and you will not regret it.
