Hi Ed, very valid your comment.

but this is resumed in one word that has been in our lives for long time : "Evolution"

We will adopt any format, port, device or gadget that saves us seconds.

It is just a matter of time to see the market flooded with this new tech.

So when are keyboards and mice coming out that are Thunderbolt or USB3 compatible? :-)

Seriously, except for transfering files, printing a huge job or scanning a big job, Thunderbolt and [to the lesser extent] USB3 won't change my life. I have 2 USB3 ports built into my mobo [one of the first mobos to have them] and with the exception of my USB3 flash drive, they aren't used.

MOst sores will continue to sell USB2 flash drives and USB2 portable drives even though t5hey are slower than USB3. On top of that manufacturers haven't release many computers with USB3 ports.

Thunderbolt is a different story. Do we really need another port type? Serial, parallel, game, USB1.1, USB2, USB3, VGA, DVI, HDMI, mini-HDMI, IR, eSATA, Firewire, displayort, ....
