Yeah, but that's a direct rip-off of the little hole in the floppy
drive that allowed you to eject 3.5" floppies. You PC folks might not
remember it, but it was standard on Macs since 1984, since Mac floppy
drives had no eject button; they sucked in the floppy much like
today's slot-loading CD mechanisms work.
I'd have to say wi-fi. I just love being able to move around without
cables and still be connected.
