Macbook Air Accidents: Missed Flight and Trashed in Bin
I don’t fave the new MacBook Air. It’s too thin. It doesn’t have CD ROM! And the port is quite limited. I still fave (and want to buy) MacBook Pro. That’s why it seems my thinking was quite right if we look into two recent MacBook Air tragedies.
Steve Jobs Made Me Miss My Flight
They pull my laptop, my new laptop making its first trip with me, out of the flow of bags. One takes me aside to a partitioned cubicle. Another of the endless supply of TSA agents takes the rest of my bags to a different cubicle. No yellow brick road here, just a pair of yellow painted feet on the floor, and my flight is boarding. I am made to understand that I should stand and wait. My laptop is on the table in front of me, just beyond reach, like I am waiting to collect my personal effects after being paroled.I’m standing, watching my laptop on the table, listening to security clucking just behind me. “There’s no drive,” one says. “And no ports on the back. It has a couple of lines where the drive should be,” she continues.
A younger agent, joins the crew. I must now be occupying ten, perhaps twenty, percent of the security force. At this checkpoint anyway. There are three score more at the other five checkpoints. The new arrival looks at the printouts from x-ray, looks at my laptop sitting small and alone. He tells the others that it is a real laptop, not a “device”. That it has a solid-state drive instead of a hard disc. They don’t know what he means. He tries again, “Instead of a spinning disc, it keeps everything in flash memory.” Still no good. “Like the memory card in a digital camera.” He points to the x-ray, “Here. That’s what it uses instead of a hard drive.”

When something is thin enough to fit into an envelope, light enough to sit on your lap for a couple of hours without discomfort and so compact that it doesn’t even bulge in an airline seat-back pocket, wouldn’t it make sense that one could lose track of such a thing? Even if it is a computer?Yes, it would make sense. Believe me. Please. Because I can’t find my MacBook Air.
Can you really blame a guy for losing something that’s called Air?

Pake Mekbuk aja sekarang CDROM readernya jarang banget dipake.
Tetep yang paling banyak dipake ya Ethernet, WIFI dan USB/Firewire.
