How long do you think that will last (pcs being stuck at 100BaseT)? I
don't disagree with what you are saying above. I'm just saying that for
most people, an $800 storage system is quite pricey.

As noted, PCs aren't stuck at 100BT. And you don't need a network
storage device to take advantage of 1000BT- one of my XP machines serves
files at that speed to a few other XP machines on my network. Nothing
expensive involved. My observatory connection is now 1000BT, too, which
is really nice for transferring big video files when I'm doing webcam
imaging (which quickly add up to many GB).

Anyone considering a new computer purchase should probably get it with a
1000BT interface- regardless of the type of machine, it will either be
standard or a very cheap upgrade.
