Maybe you are right but I wouldn't bet on it.

I would. USB still hasn't fully supplanted serial ports. HDMI hasn't supplanted component on the TV set, nor DVI on the PC, and looks like it's getting locked out of the PC market via DisplayPort. Now you're telling me that Light Peak is going to instantly replace everything? No. It's great technology, but, no.

128G disks are less than $500...

When they hit $30, then we can rejoice.

Like I said, you may be right but I would not put money on it. Let’s have this conversation a year from now. The reason I think this way is because of the speed of technology changes. Look at how flash memory replaced CD’s or USB replaced serial... It will be even faster with this technology. And yeah, I know, there are serial cables still in use but most people haven’t ever seen one. That is how fast we move now. By the way, you interested in a box of serial cables, I can make you a good price! lol
