This is an addendum to my Airport Extreme Mini Review that I posted a couple of days ago. I’ve been using the Airport Extreme for the weekend, and I’m still happy with it. Backing up the laptop to a USB drive plugged into the Airport Extreme was easy, and although it’s not a documented feature, […]
