Think I was the only one to mention the lack of FireWire on the new retina laptops. Not sure why you would assume because the lack of FireWire was only mentioned now that it was only noticed now. I must have cancelled my retina order at least 4 months ago.
With the rest of your post I agree wholeheartedly. Cannot run my studio on an iMac. Don't feel like buying a tower when it is 3 years old. Now I need an additional machine, not a replacement machine, and I have settled on a Mac mini. Hope it works out but I have no idea what I am going to do in the future.
It seems that computer development is currently aimed at tablets and for those of us needing to create content on higher end towers no solutions are being offered. Android is great, so is iOS actually, but for what it is meant, as a platform for consumption. Creation of content is another story.
