Written on July 8th, 2009 by adminno shouts

Had our Dual-Band Time Capsule been faster at doing the two simple things we mentioned we were trying to accomplish—(1) transferring a large media library, then (2) merging it with a much smaller library—there probably would have only been one Backstage article on the topic, and it would have ended with great satisfaction. But it’s slow – so slow in fact that we’re now on our third consecutive day of trying to deal with its…
