Apple Time Machine

[Chreees]

Considering getting one so my gf and I can wirelessly backup our Macbook Pros whenever. Also it'd be nice to print wirelessly from anywhere in the apt. I saw some pretty bad user reviews on Apple.com, though. Anyone on here have any experience with the device?

I was going to get one for my Macbook and iMac, but everywhere I read reviews people said they only have a life expectancy of 1 1/2 to 2 years.

I bought a 1TB Lacie instead and LOVE it! It's not wireless, but I don't mind. It supports firewire.

if anyone ever gets this time machine...can you go back to September of 2008 and tell my ass to leave my ex alone!!

There's better ways to backup wirelessly, hook in a harddrive for your network through your router and just back up wirelessly that way. Will be much more cost efficent.

Yeah, that's what I keep seeing in reviews... making me very wary of getting it.

Hmmm, I wonder if my Iomega 500GB External Harddrive would be able to hookup to my AT&T router...
