For those of you who aren&#8217;t aware of this device, it is Apple&#8217;s mini base-station, music streaming, usb printer sharing, network extending device.  Currently, I have it set up downstairs hooked to the stereo and had it cranked up while I sat out on the porch.  Currently, any mac in the house can stream music to it from iTunes.  In some ways it&#8217;s not a perfect solution, since in my parent&#8217;s case they&#8217;d have to go upstairs to their mac to start iTunes.  But for someone with a laptop or a laptop and a desktop it just plain rocks.  And I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ernietheattorney.net\/ernie_the_attorney\/2004\/08\/apple_airtunes_.html\">not the only one who is loving it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where I think Apple was smart with this device.  They&#8217;ve made it so easy to want more than one of them. I&#8217;ve already got one and can easily justify two more.  The second I&#8217;ll use in my room as a print server\/wireless client.  The third will go on the third floor hooked into the home theatre setup.  At around $130 each it isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;ll pick up right away, but once I get my laser printer I know I&#8217;ll be eyeing it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, then I may want one for when I&#8217;m on the road.
