I got a spanky new AirPort Extreme base station. The server may go up and down over the next few days as I try to get it to work the way that I'd like it to. Currently I am having problems getting it to act as the router while allowing port mapping of network services (read: webserver) to the Ethernet-worked computer. It's not behaving the way Apple's documentation says it should.

I also got a new 120GB hard drive for the server, because I was going to run up against the limit for my mp3 archives soon. This should ensure that I have enough space for the archives of my radio show well into the future. In any case, they were the excuse to go to the new Apple store over in the Galleria. Very well lit, very spacious, and tons of cool toys... I almost decided to buy a graphics tablet (I don't really draw), a digital camera (I almost never take pictures) and even a silly little aluminum knob. Not that I really have the money for any of this...
