Hehe. I just find that amusing because of the fact the previous Imacs (maybe new ones too) don't have a floppy drive

Anyway, I haven't read the articles, but I'm assuming we're talking serial ATA as the new format for hard drives? It's already making it's way into laptop computers, and a few desktop motherboard manufactures are including it on their boards too.
