Sounds interesting ... combine it with one or more LaCie Ethernet Disks and
IMHO you do get a workable SMB solution.

On the downside it doesn't appear to deal with Appleshare ... but the LaCie
Ethernet Disks do.

802.11b Access Point ... why not 802.11g?  Having said that ... Is it WiFi
Certified?

I don't think it needs to be quite so small.  I'd be happier if it was the
size of a RaQ, had the power supply in the box and used a std 3.5" disk
instead of a 2.5" disk.

Mind you it could be an ideal alternative to your average DSL Router.

Apple should bring back the G4 Cube with MacOS X Server ... that would be a
great replacement for the Qube3.  ;-)

Cheers,  Malcolm
