Hey guys, I've lurked for a while and though I'd finally post.
Just wanted to ask a few questions (just for context sake, I'm in Australia);
I'm currently on a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" beast and I'm running a PC at the other end of the house. The PC is connect to the wired ADSL router which is connected to a Wireless router (only G I think, it was only about 100 bucks so that's what I'm guessing) that supplies connection to this computer.
I was think about picking up a Time capsule for a stronger and hopefully faster connection. I was thing the Time Capsule, over just the standard wifi thing (not sure what Apple are calling it), due to the fact I've been needing an external hard drive for a while and why not get the two in one? But, on the other had, I don't really have any REAL important data on this computer (bar some movies and edited footage I don't have saved anywhere else), do I really need the back up feature? Is that the main plug for the product? Am I going to be paying for something I won't use?
I'm either looking at the 500 GB or the 1TB priced $429 and $699 respectively.
Any pro-tips for me?
On a side note, my brother picked up an second hand ibook off ebay that didn't come with a power cable... I'm pretty sure it's just an ibook g4 (2003) 14". Anyone know where I can pick up a power cable that will work here in Aus?
Cheers.
