Regardless of the definition you use, our segment of the market still exists. No matter how much Apple might hope we all become wedding videographers (no offense, wedding guys/gals), some of us really do need the "oomph" that workstations provide.

Thunderbolt to me seems like a solution to a problem none of us really had.  By the time you hook up a gpu expansions chassis, extra monitor and storage to your laptop, it's taking up just as much space as the Mac Pro was.  Thunderbolt does help Apple streamline its product lineup by bringing workstation perhiperals to the iMac and laptop worlds, but...so what?

I don't think that Apple is walking away from the 'Pro' market so much
as they are redefining it for themselves and dancing to a new tune.

How's that saying go, "When elephants dance the world trembles"?
