So why, two years later, is it still considered a marginal technology? Andy Stout reports

Early this week we had a story about Matrox's DS1 Thunderbolt docking station. We said that the DS1 would go on the end of a Thunderbolt chain, with other devices in between the DS1 and the computer

Matrox DS1 lets you connect all the peripherals you need - including storage and a monitor - with one, small cable
