Technology changes. Get over it. I remember in the early 90s my friends ragging me because my Mac didn’t have a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive, too.

I feel that the Express slot may have been removed for another reason as well. The new iPhone allows for tethering - when ATT says so - and at additional cost!!

It has a combo eSATA/USB port. Plug in an eSATA cable, it's eSATA. Plug in a USB cable, it's USB. If you use the special Dell optical drive, it uses the eSATA signal, but taps into USB for power. I think Apple could offer something like this for those who really want eSATA—why even bother with cards? I just came across (not even related to this article) a photo of Dell’s Adamo notebook.
