this is actually a perfect example of what i'm talking about that some
people are trying to dismiss.  u need to know very little to almost
nothing to setup a wifi apple device, and once you do, its basically
forever.  compare that to the ip3k products, which many people here,
some posting how easy this all is, don't even attempt dhcp with
anymore.  true, the OP is talking touch but i seem to recall a lot of
problems with the touch when it rolled out anyway, no?

in addition, airplay has no problems with multiple wifi hops.  i was
able to stream from a laptop hd via wifi to a router back to a wifi
APX.  absolutely no drops, no problem, just plug and play.  i was even
able to have the laptop grab the music off of a NAS, that was wired to
the router, but again the laptop was wifi.

compare that to slim stuff, which basically can't do more than one wifi
hop period, usually the router to the device.

now, like the OP i hate mac/apple stuff, i get it when he says its in
the genes.  but a lot of people in my family like the stuff, and it
does do some things well, that slim does not match.  to all the people
saying this stuff is no muss, no fuss, i say take it to someone who is
NOT into computers, and watch them try to set it up from scratch,
without your help, and then compare that to someone doing the same with
apple.  it just isn't the same, its silly to try to say it is.
