First Airport Extreme unboxing pics surface

TUAW reader Mark has just received his Airport Extreme base station, way ahead of schedule. Gasp as he shows you the contents of the box (nothing too shocking). He also compares the new Airport Extreme base station to the old UFO type, so you can get an idea of its size.

Check out his site for all the pics.

Re: disk sharing: Apple has the manual posted. Specifically page 55-56

I think a Lacie ethernet disk might be better if you've already got a router.

good job TUAW, you just killed the bandwidth limit on some poor .mac user's homepage. be more responsible next time :P

j/k.. i am thinking of getting a new router to replace my roommate's 3-4 year old one, but i'm not sure willing to drop almost $200 on one.. im a college student. (although i do have a 17" MBP CD...)

The site is down.

Zebramonkey: I don't think that setup will work: USB and firewire are two different interface technologies that do not play well together (I've been looking for a solution to the same problem).

Question: I have a firewire drive, if I buy a new external USB/Firewire drive, can I attach it to the hub, then attach my firewire drive to the new USB/Firewire drive and have access to both wirelessly? That would be very nice..

Of the entire tedious genre of unboxing pictures, this is one of the most pointless I've ever seen.
