Not nearly technical. They didn’t have PCs when I started working. But I do own INTC.

Is this going to help INTC? Just curious.

If it catches on as the next great standard. The last data connector Apple popularized was USB, and it caught on pretty well. There's USB 3.0 coming in the wings, and eSATA now to compete, but they both have their problems. Firewire is now dead. Technically, Thunderbolt is beyond all of them in terms of speed and capability.

Do you mean to ask if the revenue from Intel selling the chip that is the Thunderbolt controller is going to be significant?

...say above 10% of the total revenue?
