In common parlance, durable computers and peripherals are an
investment. An investment need not provide a financial return, but for
many people they do. My question was aimed at professionals for whom
their MB Pro's are an investment that makes money for them.

Convenience, speed of operation, and ease of use; these cut down on my 
time and energy, and avoids me jerking around with problems that are 
caused by older technology (most frequently). Less time and brain-spin 
is the definition of "makes more money" for me.

MBPro is vastly better in all these aspects than my previous box.

Meh. Like so many who came before you, you'll just have to adjust.

The likelihood is that you won't be upgrading computers as often
anyway, and by the time you do the old technology will be long gone.

Just get an adapter or dock / hub. Problem solved relatively cheaply.

If buying a new drive is cheaper than buying adaptors to make an old
drive work, it would be exceedingly foolish to buy the adaptor. If it's
anywehre near the price, it would be foolish.

Buy a single USB-C JBOD enclosure and shove all your drives into it.

<https://www.amazon.com/MiniPro-RAID-Type-C-USB-C-Enclosure/dp/B01GVVC59A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1477714837&sr=8-3&keywords=JBOD+usb-c>

You can get USB-C to USB-A adaptors for $10-12.

If the MBP doesn't fit your needs, don't buy it.

Get used to it.  It's been going on like this since forever.  The
USB/FW/TB/etc thing should be blamed on Intel, as they're the ones
coming up with it all; Apple is just using it.  I blame Intel for the
USB A/B port.  They should have had something like USB C since the
beginning, but it's only been around since what, 2014?  It took way too
long to get here.

Would I like my new machine to still have an ethernet port and
Magwhatever power ports?  Yes.  Would I like a built-in SD reader?  Yes.
 But I don't need a modem port.  Or an old-style serial port, though I
*would* like an ADB port, as I like the original Apple Extended Keyboard.

SCSI's out, though it works fine in my SE.  IDE is out, though it worked
fine in my Q630.  Apple never used eSATA that I know of in MBP. Firewire
is ANCIENT at this point.  While my machine has a FW800 port, I gave up
on it shortly after buying my 2009 MBP.

I just finished upgrading my external disk enclosures from the ones I
bought in the mid-to-late 2000s.  I had to, as they wouldn't handle 4TB
drives properly.

When was the last time you bought something in a FW800 enclosure?

There used to be an ADB <-> USB adaptor, but I don't know if it worked
with the ADB keyboard.

My Apple Design Keyboard is still going fine. Never had any problem
with it.  :-)  I've seen a few issues with the new flat keyboard Apple
ships with desktop Macs these days - one woman I know had the Backspace
key on her wireless keyboard suddenly decide to no longer work (every
other key works fine, but that one doesn't do anything, doesn't even
show any response in the KeyCaps-replacement app).

I think I remember those.  I don't remember if I ever had one.

There still is at least one around. I have an ancient Wacom tablet with
an ADB port and I connect to a modern Mac via an ADB-to-USB adapter.
There are no drivers for this old tablet, so the function keys don't
work, but the basic function--using a stylus to edit graphics
on-screen--works just fine.

Unfortunately for her it was past the warranty period, so there was
nothing she could do about it.

doesn't matter. although the warranty may have expired, many times
apple will fix things for free, particularly if it's something simple.

Yep. I've had two keys replaced for free while I waited.

I have one connected to my Apple Extended II keyboard. It works fine
with my 2012 iMac (or at least it did last time I used it, which was
earlier this year).

About three months ago. Amazon currently lists 672 FireWire hard drives.

For an ancient technology (like displays and keyboards‹where's the

No, but when they fail, and they will, you'll need to replace the
enclosures to use larger drives anyway.

Nice.  As I said, I gave up on FW around 6 years ago.  There was no
reason to keep using it.  Why have you?  Aren't they still more
expensive?

I want spoken natural language recognition, and I want it NOW!  But
programming that way might be a bit silly.

Agreed, that's why I'm doing it now.  My system had gotten too slow
(important), and it can't be upgraded to macOS Sierra (not necessarily
as important).

I'm having a senior moment. Why doesn't Davoud just upgrade the
enclosures on his external HDs to accommodate current hardware and quit
worrying about it when the time comes? Macsales sells the enclosures
cheap. If the hard drive doesn't support current enclosures, transfer
it's data to one that does. I'm not a hardware guy, but swapping
current HDs into new cases is pretty easy. I'm missing something again.

Possibly for the same reason he bought a FW enclosure this year, despite
knowing for at least half a decade that FW was EOL and would not be
maintained in the future.

Thunderbolt 1 is faster than FW could ever be, Thunderbolt 2 is faster
still, and Thunderbolt 3 is ludicrously fast (40Gb/s v FW800's 0.8GB/s).

however, a single hard drive will never reach 40 gb speeds, no matter
how it's connected. sata maxes out at 6gb/s.
