Re: Opitical Thunderbolt cables. On a Thinkpad.

[Jeremy Garchow] "Maybe I'm being naive, but isn't Thunderbolt going to change computing/peripherals?"

It changes a lot for small form factor computers (which happen to be massively popular). I don't see it being a step forward for towers though. PCIe slots are still capable of far more bandwidth. That doesn't mean you wouldn't put Thunderbolt on a tower, you still want to be able to use the same peripherals across all classes of computer. But Thunderbolt is not a replacement for PCIe. It is a wonderful leap beyond FireWire, USB, eSATA, and ExpressCard.

From my distant Internet vantage point, it looks like there is a lot of Thunderbolt at NAB this year.

Best,
Andy
