A post of success, After losing two hard drives to the great big disk god last week (may they spin down in peace)... I installed a 120 GB disk in my neglected iMac (2000 model, 400DV, 10.2.1) and put all of my mp3's on it...connected it to the airport base station (snow model) using ethernet cable and am now sitting in bed using the iBook and airport to listen to that music (freed up 8 GB on the 'Book). Fantastic what you can do and how easy it is to connect a mixed wifi/ethernet/dialup ISP network...I love Apple and this 12 inch beauty of an iBook is simply magic...I best not let the wife catch me eyeing the iBook like that... I'll stop now or when I go to work in the morning everyone is going to look at that still present silly smile on my face and think what's he been up to...
