Imagine carrying around a tiny SSD disk with an entire OSX install and all your files contained on it. You go to work and pop it in a slot on an iMac and boom… you’re up and running on a full fledged workstation with all your data and OS customizations intact. At the end of the day you go home and pop the same disk in a similar workstation at home and you’re back up where you left off.

Take it a step further and place these “Diskless iMac’s” in airports, libraries, schools, etc.

An interesting take on the new Thunderbolt technology Apple is now pushing.
