My Time Capsule...

For the most part, I have been pretty satisfied with Time Machine over the past few months since I have been using it. I have only been backing up my desktop system as it was the only one tethered to my MyBook drive. I hated the idea of having to plug my and my wife's MacBook in everytime we needed to backup (takes the setup and forget fun out of it). When I heard about the Time Capsule from the announcement a little while ago, I was very excited and knew I would be the proud owner of one when it came out.

Well Time Capsule came out a few days ago and arrived in our local Apple Stores today. I rushed out this morning and picked up the massive Terabyte networked drive + Airport Extreme (which is what the Time Capsule is if you didn't know). I hooked it up, with the only hitch being that I had to restart my cable modem. After that it worked flawlessly and I was able to start backing up to it immediately.

Here are some photos of the device in all of its glory: http://gallery.mac.com/kyle.d.hayes#100163

As for the PC compatibility, I will let you know when I try it out. But supposedly the think looks like a standard network drive. In addition, since it is an Airport Extreme, it does have a usb port that I can hook a hub up to if I wanted.
