Several people are complaining about the lack of ethernet ports.<p>Back in 2012(?), Apple came out with the MacBook Air, which did not have an optical drive. Everyone was up in arms: NO OPTICAL DRIVE?!?  Has Jobs lost his mind??!?  I was the same: what the heck? How will I get along without an optical drive?!?<p>Then I thought about the last time I used the optical drive on my MBP. After a bit of thinking, I realized that I had basically never used it in the ~4 years I had that MBP! I had been lugging around an optical drive, which I had used zero times!  Then it dawned on me: I&#x27;ve been getting along fine without an optical drive.<p>Something tells me that the story will be similar with ethernet ports. Most of our devices today (laptops, tablets, phones) don&#x27;t use wired ethernet. Ye cranky old desktop does, but..... what if you could put a $50 ac card in it, and presto, no wires!
