A friend was just over visiting. He had just bought and set up an Airport
Extreme base station and attached a hard drive to it, on which he had
a collection of Quicktime movies. We were sitting in my apartment kitchen,
and his Airport Extreme/hard drive was over 100 feet away on his bedroom's
window sill. He had his MacBook Pro with him, and he was able to connect
to his network and play some MOVs off his drive -- with many hiccups, but I
was still impressed that we could do it at all at this distance.
