Hi Alex, That's not necessarily true. The general term for that is a NAS (network attached storage), and more devices than the airport networking hardware from Apple support that type of usage. It ranges from a single hard drive NAS device (like the Western Digital MyBook World Edition) to very expensive redundant storage like the Drobo with a device called DroboShare (both together are about $4-700 depending on which model you buy, BEFORE hard drives!). And if you have a computer to spare, you can set up your computer to share that hard drive over the network to others, but that computer would have to be on every time you'd want to use it on another.
Also, Apple does sell a single device called Time Capsule that combines the Airport networking hardware with a hard drive, but in my opinion it's sort of overpriced and inconvenient if the hard drive ever fails. cheers, jane On Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 8:09 PM, Alex Jurgensen` <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi, > You could actually share it over the network by attaching it via USB > 2.0 to an Airport express, Airport extreeme or one of the computers on > the network.
