Time Capsule: Backing Up At Its Simplest

One of the products announced during MacWorld got me excited. Apple announced Time Capsule a “companion product” to Leopard’s Time Machine. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme Base Station and wireless hard drive all rolled into one.

I’m really a fan of making things simple. I hate complications and that goes for everything in my life. From relationships to gadgets, the simpler the better. Time Machine and Time Capsule makes backing up as simple as possible.

I know backing up is important. All of us should do it and yet most of us don’t. Why? because it’s such a tedious task. It’s always a chore to back up data. Time Machine made it a bit easier but you still had to keep plugging in the external drive when you did back-ups. At least for notebook users. Desktop users wasn’t as bad since you can keep the drive plugged in.

Time Machine and Time Capsule makes backing up so easy that it’s a sin not to back up your files.

While I’m still deciding if I’d like a MacBook Air, I definitely want a Time Capsule. I don’t even need to think twice about it. This is one gadget that I know will make life easier for me. I’m already thinking of replacing my aging Linksys wireless router and replacing it with this one. I’ll probably use the Linksys to extend my WiFi network if it’s possible. At $299 for the 500GB model, the Time Capsule is too good to pass up.
