and even if they do roll it ou, how long will it be before devices catch up. I had a power supply issue with my powerbook g4 that never got fixed but it's kind of illusive. It's good to have apple care though because they replaced some rather expensive components which I didn't have to pay for.

Don't quote me on this, but that is what I recall and if that's the case, that will be damned fast, faster than the SATA drives. Of course you never know what in the world Apple will rollout so sometimes you wait and its just software or it may have nothing to do with the computers directly; like Apple TV or something.
