There was a story on MacWorld.Com today saying Apple has removed any  
mention of the Airport-attached drive option from the Time Machine  
page.  It now says:
"You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB  
drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine  
can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File  
Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
