Truman,

My research brought me to about the same place.  Are the Haswell chips
being used yet?

That sucks.  Maybe that is why Dell no longer stocked the 1.5 TB drive I
had in the box.  The replacement they had is one TB.

Macs seem to use a proprietary version of the Thunderbolt.  I will probably
wait for the more generic versions to hit the market (as well as the
Haswell).

Do you have any off-site backup?  I've never lost anything to fire, but
always lived in fire-prone areas.  So, like with earthquakes, it's a risk I
try to prepare for.

Thanks for posting.
