Re: Pretty amazing Thunderbolt demo.

[Frank Gothmann] "Pile them up and you have a "tower", both in size and weight."

Not quite. They can all be used with portable devices and they certainly do not weigh 40 lbs. That you can move any of these from computer to computer, even desktop to desktop (if/when MacPros are updated/replaced) will be a major increase in flexibility. Imagine being able to move Video I/O from computer as needed rather than having to buy cards for every single workstation. For some facilities this is going to be a cost savings.

While the need for workstations may still be there, that every workstation needs to be equipped with everything is inefficient for many facilities. That all this can now be assigned to specific machines as needed both in house and on location, is going to be a major step forward.
