At some point Thunderbolt won't be Apple only and I expect the peripherals should start to become more plentiful at that point.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

NoiseDesign, does that mean you might have a slightly used mini that you want to unload?

There is a very good chance I will have a few machines that are ready to sell off shortly. I believe possibly some Mac Minis as well as some iMacs, and probably a MacBook or MacBook Pro.

Oooh, really? I might be interested in a Mini (my big HP laptop is better suited for staying on my computer desk at home, which is fine most of the time, but I've been thinking I'd like to have a little one to take to school).

I'll let folks know what's going up for sale once I've got the new machines configured and ready to drop into my rental batch. I get back to LA at the beginning of August and will know little while after that.

What I was surprised to learn recently is that Thunderbolt is PCIe and DisplayPort combined over a single cable. This means you should be able to cheaply make adapters for anything that is supported by PCIe cards, like FireWire.

Huh, that is interesting, Rob.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yeah, the new Thunderbolt monitors from Apple just have a Thunderbolt connection between the Mac and the monitor, but it has USB, Firewire, and ethernet ports coming out of the monitor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Rob's news makes Thunderbolt much more interesting all of a sudden (as I was assuming it was another case of "hey, nifty tech that there won't be enough variety to support!")
