Finally got the tour movie downloaded and the oversized trackpad looks interesting. It's taken on all the gestures from the iPhone/iTouch and added more.

You just swipe sideways though docs, photos and web pages. Expand and contract text sizes pinching your fingers and rotate objects with a twist.

For 499 bucks plus local sales tax the Timecapsule with an ethernet wireless base station, print serving and a terrabyte of storage looks like a good choice for the Towers with 5 macs and one PC to try and be sensible with. I live downroute and can back up the delinquent family's digital dross remotely and access the printer's diagnostics when they've stuffed it again.
