I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey. New board.
If I set up a new Airport Extreme that has 802.11n, then add an old Airport Express to the network that only has 802.11g, will it slow down the whole network? I want to be able to continue using AirTunes, and would prefer not to buy an updated Airport Express to do it.
Of course, the next question is: with my cable connection, will the difference between 802.11g and 802.11n be noticeable most of the time? I could always unplug the Express for hardcore internal file transfers, like backups, I spose.

Thank you Dana. I was afraid of that. Also glad I am not deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Hey. New board.
The Netflix device from Roku works pretty well. Easy enough to connect to wireless. I only had to wait about 7 minutes for Young Frankenstein to buffer enough to watch, and it's been nice. I'm watching on a smallish, non-HD TV at the moment, so I can't really speak to quality just yet. It looks good on this TV, but so would iPod video.

Possibly clueless ringtone questions! I have achieved shiny shiny iPhone, and now I must have some custom ringtones. What's the best way to create ringtones out of songs I've already got in iTunes? (Specifically, I need the theme to Beetlejuice as a ringtone.)

Jilli, easiest way I've found is this:
1. find song.
2. figure out the 30 seconds or less of the song that you want. Note start/stop time of the selection (i.e. from 1:21 to 1:44)
3. right click on song, pick the info tab.
4. Change start/stop time to the bit of song that you want,
5. Right click on song, select "convert selection to AAC"
6. After a few seconds, you'll get a "bloop" and see another version of the song.
7. Rename selection something that you'll remember
8. Close itunes
9. Go into Explorer (or whatever on a Mac), and find the file
10. Change file extention from "m4a" to "m4r"
11. open iTunes
12. Drag file into iTunes. It should automatically figure out that it's a ringtone and put it into the ringtone library.
The one caveat is that you cannot do this with a song you've downloaded from iTunes unless you strip the DRM protections.

Oooh, thank you, Vortex! That will make my life much, much easier.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That will make my life much, much easier.
And also more awesome!

For the record, there is not yet an easy way to change your text message notification sounds. At this point, you have to go into the files of the phone itself and change the name of your file to one of the current names (i.e. tritone) and substitute it in. That may change, but we're stuck with the lameness for now.
