Hi everybody!

My hard drive is getting full and I was thinking of upgrading it. Then a thought ocurred:- why don't I get an airport extreme with an external drive and offload some of the movies clogging my MacBook to the airdisk? I know it's a more expensive option in the short term, but I'm planning on changing the MacBook at some point.
How easy is it to set up an airdisk (+time machine on a separate drive through a hub with the extreme). Are movies practical to stream via airdisk, I.e. Do they take long to begin; do they stutter? Any other problems with airdisk?
Any advice would be appreciated.
