Hey all,
I'm a recent Mac convert (realized windows was one of the dumbest things in the world --> Linux --> Mac). I have been reading about the Time Capsule, and I have been thinking it might be exactly what I'm looking for, but I have a few questions.
The Time Capusle sounds great, between the WiFi and the automatic backup, but can it also be used as an external hard drive. I have the lowest end Air with ~60GB of hard drive. Can I download movies or whatever onto my Time Capsule and then access them from my Air (obviously while on the network)? Or would I have to USB a hard drive into the TC to do that? If that's the case, then I would probably be better off doing the same with the AirPort, since it's cheaper (as I understand things, at least).
I apologize if questions such as these have been asked before. I swear I looked.
Thanks!
