Wasn't there a used one for sale here recently Scott??

What's the spec, do they have more than one Gig LAN port?  I've now got several devices with Gig LAN so I think I need some sort of switch but as yet undecided.

I have a few, both to extend my wireless network, and to share a printer/music. They're really great, and so so easy to set up.

Do you mean the Airport Extreme base station??
If so I have one, and cant fault it. Works perfectly. Love the fact I can now share put my external HDD on it and access it from anywhere!
Highly recommended.

Ah sorry, when Base Station is mentioned I always think of Airport Extreme for some reason!

So the Express is used to stream your music to your speakers over the wireless??
How exactly does it work?
You plug it into a socket, and plug your speakers into it, and you're good to go??

Pretty much, though the speakers need to be powered, or you can plug the Express into your amp.
