Would you find use or like future Apple Cinema displays to include ports for SD/CF card slots?
As much as I love the miminalist design of Apple's Cinema Displays, I must admit some of Dell's displays are so feature ladden that I pose this question. Now before anyone gets all excited that it's going to look junky, I'd only want nothing less than a elegant implementation or don't have it at all. And if it's possible, I'd love to see the same implemented on future AIO iMacs. |

As far as locking out certain users, floppy drives, ADB, SCSI, USB 1.0 ports, were all once on Macs but hey, that's progress. You can't please everyone, so pick the major card formats. |

Memory card formats, however, do not supersede each other. As I pointed out, there's at least four widespread formats in use right now, and that's not even counting the smaller forms such as microSD. |

No. In a way the fact that Dell does it is a pretty good indication why Apple shouldn't. Dell is known for doing gimmicky crap to make their computers more full-featured looking or modern looking. Their Industrial design nearly always sucks and card slots is rarely an exception. Those readers can short out pretty easily. Image the possibility that your system stability gets hosed, because of some faulty pins or card bus. It's just a stupid thing IMO.
Personally I don't like readers that much in general. Just adds to the cable-clutter of your workspace. I wish the cameras themselves were all fast enough to just hook up the cable directly. Make the issue of readers a moot point. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

My read on this is that while the poster loves Apple's minimalist designs, their is also a certain attraction to the features of Dell's monitors. They are most certainly NOT mutually exclusive. I love good old fashioned American muscle (especially 60's and early 70's trans-ams!), but I typically buy Lexus or Infiniti. There's nothing wrong with loving the beauty of one thing but wanting something that you view as more practical or useful.
