and I just bought an AEBS yesterday
Anyone have any experience with Apple return policies?
14 day return policy, and quite frankly they shouldn't charge you a restocking fee
Great first post!
That is the first question that came to mind. Truth is I was ready to buy a time capsule up until I the power supply problem became news. So let the tear downs begin. We need verification of an improved power supply.

Don't you get your 14-day free return policy over there? If so, just return it and re-order
As long as you don't even unpack it I'm sure Apple won't mind.
Good for apple
But i'm still going to vote negative overall on the fact that i want a speedbump on the appletv.
But don't let me hamper everyone else's fun

yes but I have unpacked it and plugged it in to the mains.
I might have a go at them and see what they say
Is this an official Apple policy? Or is it just what they typically do?
My AEBS is only 4 days old ... and I'm trying to decide whether to pack it back up and drive to the store to get the new one.
I bought my AEBS about 6 days ago and I have only opened the box. The plastic is still on the actual product. I am just wondering if I take it in to the store for a return, will they have the newer AEBS in stock? Or will I have to get store credit until the new models are in? My 14 days will be up if they don't get the new models in for another week.
What speeds are people getting from their Airport Extremes/Time Capsules? I have an original Extreme (100Mb ethernet, 802.11n) and I get about 5.2MB/s from a WD MyBook 1TB hooked up via USB.
If the new revisions can give a bit more speed, I'd be very tempted to upgrade.

Maybe that's it. I *do* have an instance of XP SP3 running in VMWare. Last hour the backup size was about 9MB, right now it's backing up again and this time it's 13.71GB and all I've done is email and websurfing so something is definitely not right.
Is there anything I can do about this?
This may have been true with earlier versions of VMware Fusion, but the current version (2.0.x) defaults to splitting the virtual HD into 2GB chunks, most of which aren't changed through normal use of the VM...
If you're in the UK that's no problem (assuming you got it direct from Apple) - Apple's 14 day returns policy is almost without exception, doesn't matter if you've been using it every day, you can still return it no problem.
I think I'm right in saying if you bought it from an Apple Store, you have to return it to an Apple Store, and if you bought it from the Online Store, it has to be shipped back to the Apple Store. So you can't but stuff online, and take it back to a store.
I'm miffed having upgraded only 2 months ago that they have made 50% speed changes for a product that was heavily revised (i.e dual band/guest network) only in March this year.
Exclude your VM instance (your XP SP3 image) from backups. You can do this from the time machine control panel. I'd give you the exact steps - but I don't have my mac in front of me. If you can't figure it out PM me and I'll respond when I get home.
