No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

If I add up all the storage space I've got in my apartment right now I'm getting very close to a Terabyte.

I just bought a pair of 250GB drives for backup purposes. That put me well over 1TB.

I've got loose plans to buy a G5 in the fall, and part of the plan to put around half a Terabyte of storage internally on the beast for audio and video editing. My server is already sitting at about half a Terabyte.

Damn, we have a lot of storage. I remember the 120k floppies on my Apple II.

My first computer had 64K of memory. It was considered a lot.

You guys know that if you add much more memory, your equipment may achieve sentience.

I think mine already HAS achieved sentience.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think mine already HAS achieved sentience.

Is that you, or your computer saying that.

It's nice to know that something's sentient at ND's place.

Sorry. Kidding. I have no impulse control.

eta: ND is a brilliant sound designer and all-around good guy. His home has become sentient in order to worship him.

So, no answer in re: the AirPort base station?

Sorry, missed the AirPort Question.

Yes, the new ones will work with your old gear.
