Apple’s Time Capsule, the wireless hard drive you can use to back up multiple Macs using Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard, has begun shipping.
“Notifications of the shipments began reaching customers that pre-ordered the device early this morning,” reports Jim Dalrymple for Macworld.

Time waits for no mac.
On time = Good.
Late = Bad.
Each one ships with a 45 RPM record of Neil Diamond, a signed yearbook (RHTS!) and a piece of Jimmy Hoffa.
And the award this year for Unfunniest Mac Blog Poster Who Actually Thinks He Is Witty goes to . . . that self important douchebag . . . AMPAR ! ! !
Ampar rules!
“Ampar rules!”
I second that…
This may be a great add on but It’s a total CROC that Apple still hasn’t added compatibility with regular external drives. Those of us with a new base station no have to buy time capsule in order to wirelessly back up?
I hope this isn’t apples way of just making money and forcing us to buy more products that we really don’t need when they do have the ability to make this function work with normal ExT Drives.
We have the base stations, the drives, just give us a software/firmware update to Time Machine & the Base stations to make this work already ….!!!!!!
McCracken drools!
@Lilochris, just get Super Duper. You can’t boot up from Time Machine anyway.

Thats awesome Apple. I think Safari feels snappier since TC shipped.
I still want to know can i put all my tv shows and movies on time capsul then acess them from my apple tv? If so this would be great no need to stream from a computer and no need for the sink time to the apple tv.
Wandering Joe Blow, AAPLgayguy, and Timbo the Bimbo . . . hmmm, I see all of Ampar’s homo suck-up contingent is here with us . . .
Ampar blows.
Ampar isn’t the original Ampar. He’s a completely schlomo.
I can’t wait to get it, so I can go back in time and see aapl at $200. Now those were the days!
Anyone Know if this is available in Apple stores? like The Freehold, NJ store?
Just Google how.
And SuperDuper is fine but it does NOT do what Time Machine does: effortless hourly and weekly histories, effortlessly browsed and retrieved when needed.
Obviously if your drive is wireless then even Super Duper won’t get you to boot unless you have a MacBook air or OS X Server. But wireless is worth it.
Ampar suck. No use for Ampar
So is it true that Apple will also be LATE with 1,000 movies from iTunes??
Finally. I have been watching the days pass for far to long.
The real Ampar is funny as hell!
Will the real Ampar please stand up? I thought the time capsule reference was worth a chuckle.
Very funny thread. I am the original Ampar. Whether you choose to believe it is your wrestle. Those with a modicum of intelligence and more spare time than me can figure it out pretty easily with a historical search and comparison.
But thanks for the love and the hate. It’s just so damn funny.
Back on topic, I’m going to have to get the 1 TB version. It’s plenty of room for backups including video.
And off topic it might be more fun to return to the world of aliases.
P.S. I have a cousin named Shlomo.
I am the Tax man…
But does it have a real power switch?
Ampar rocks!
