Well, I decided to save some money and go with the less expensive option. The new Time Capsule sure sounds interesting, especially how you can share out the drive for remote use, but in the end it is not something I really need and would just be a cool toy to play with.

I'm pretty sure that the 20 GB of online space available from MobileMe will be plenty to back up all of my files. I backed up everything from my old PC to move over to the Mac and all of my files come to about 2 GB. Of course, I expect significantly expand my music collection once I start using the mac and iTunes, but I doubt I will even go over 10 GB.

So I purchased the Airport Express and the Wirless Mighty Mouse from Macmall yesterday. Free shipping and no sales tax, plus a few dollars off MSRP.

Now I just need to find a nice leather case for the Macbook Air. I really want to get one from Vaja, but it's kind of pricey. I'll see what else I can find online.
