Networked worlds are here (aka big internal hard drives be damned)

By Charles Martin | January 18, 2008

Lots of talk on this already this week but I am putting in my 2 1/7th cents.

What we saw with Steve Jobs’ report on the new Apple product set is that with Apple Airport Extreme (carrying this very signal, I am happy to say) it now keeps all your latent data (pics, music, videos) and the day to day that your boss wants you to deal with stays on the computer. One thing this means is that your Dells and Hps will begin to sell you a smaller “client” that can run the crappy Vista and you’ll be begging the wife for a bigger hard drive. (oh… that’s usually the other way around isn’t it?)

I applaud Apple for carrying the first load to the consumer on this notion. I just, btw, made up the very same change to my system and moved all music, pics, etc to a terrabyte drive and hooked her up through the older Airport Extreme which btw is a great router for even PC users.
