Thought I would add this one to the story. I purchased my Time Capsule a few years back, but didn’t installed it for at least a year, the idea was to add it onto my second computer. When at last I got it installed, it never worked. I took it back to the reseller, who opened it up to find a dead hard drive, but the interesting thing was it was covered in dust and the date on the hard drive was about 6 years older than the Time Capsule itself. One can only imagine !! Of course, it was out of warranty and had to pay the price.
