Don't everyone respond at once!

But seriously:
Everything's cool now. The sales guy pulled an SE30 out of 
their (very recent) shipment and checked what kind of HD was in it
using a program called "SCSI Probe" or something like that.  Turns out
Apple is using Sonys now!  (I hope that's good.)

Oh, the offer for the beta "PopArrow" cdev is still good.
