You're talking to a man who bought one of the first available 300 baud modems. I'll never forget the smile on my wife's face as she did her computer science homework from home for the first time. Glass of wine by her side. The letters appearing on on the monochrome green on black monitor ...one .... at .... a ... time. [="http://www.youtube…"]Luxury.

Thunderbolt? Did the naming guy lose a bet? Okay, Light Peak wasn't the best, but "Thunderbolt?" Wasn't that the name of a Disney movie about a dog?
The specs look terrific: 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions, 10 watts of power available on the bus, electrical or optical cables, demonstrated running four uncompressed HD video streams simultaneously, based on PCI Express so it can support FireWire and USB adapters (similar to the Now and Later candy bar), what more could we ask for?

Thunderbolt and Lightpipe, isn't that an old Clint Eastwood movie?
What is the data transfer rate of Lightpipe? I don't think I've seen it expressed as __ Mbps or Gbps.
Is it as simple as 8 channels x 24 bit x 48k?
The Thunderbolt looks promising - It doesn't look like there are many devices using it yet.
