Today is turning out to be a most extreme day for a lot of reasons. Near the top of the list of reasons why is the fact that my Apple AirPort Extreme finally arrived.

This little device supports the new (pre-) 802.11n standard that allows for much faster WiFi speed (approximately 5x faster than 802.11g, with an update from Apple on my current Mac hardware systems) and has a really cool Mac-Mini-esque form factor that will make my WiFi hub something that goes from being burried in a storage space out of sight to proudly taking a decorative place in my office as an uber-cool piece of tech.

The thing I’m most exctied about, however, is the ability to have network storage (built-in 40GB hard drive, with USB connections to add more). I’ll blog more about it once its installed.
