David:
Are the airport base station and airport express like wifi hotspots, servers or
what do they do?
Thanks

A man after my own heart! Another gadget freak!
I've gone a bit nuts myself in the past 8 to 9 months, bought a Mac Mini,
Imac, Mac pro, Airport Express, Airport base station, Ipod touch, and an Ipad.
Already had several other Windows computers, and yes I have way too much
stuff also!

I didn't pay for too much of this stuff myself. When I did contracting,
many of my clients would send me hardware on which they wanted things tested in
some particularly interesting combinations.
We also have an XP based HP NetBook, an Acer laptop (chosen because it was
the cheapest portable at BestBuy) and a kicking fast HP desktop both running
the vinux 3.0 beta GNU/Linux distro, a Vista desktop, an XP desktop and a ton
of external hard disks, USB thumb drives, a Victor Stream, a PAC Mate 40, two
dogs (one guide one pet), about 30 fishing rods rigged for all sorts of
habitats, a really nice Kurzweil SP88 Pro electronic piano and a partridge in
our grapefruit trees.
Come to think of it, we own way too much shit.
If any of you are interested in accessible GNU/Linux distros like vinux,
please write to me off-list and I'd be happy to field your questions to the
best of my ability.
Happy Hacking,

Jeez, we have nine different Apple products in our house and
collectively they don't add up to $17,000. I'd be afraid of such a beast as
nothing I do with a computer could possibly warrant that much power. So, if I
had that sort of money, I suppose I would keep my current stuff and put a big
down payment on the Lexus cross-over which fits our lifestyle of fishing,
camping, hunting, traveling long distances with two dogs and is a bit bigger
and a lot more comfortable than our seven year old toyota Matrix.

Hi,
That's right. I dare any one of you to go to an Apple Store online,
build your own Mac from the ground up and post the results. The Mac of your
dreams. The Mac you've always wanted, but know that you need to be a
billionaire to afford. That Mac that would make you almost drool with
excitement, but you want to scream from a mountaintop because you can't have it.
Come on. We've all done it. YOu know you want to do it. I do, too. At
least, you can live out your dream for a little while, until it is time to
click the "Checkout" item. Don't tell me that you aren't curious enough to at
least go configure your own mac to your heart's content. What is your goal? A
Mac to the price of $17000? Even more than that? Go on. Isn't it just tempting
to feel like a billionaire for once? Of course, your dreams will be crushed,
but you know, that happens. And if either one of you people decide to buy it,
you're lucky. And if you do, let me know!
Warm regards,
Nic
P.S. THis idea just popped into my head. :)
