2011 Time Capsule: less heat, cheaper drives

Apple released a new generation of Time Capsule last week.  Contrary to speculation, there weren’t any major differences between the 2011 Time Capsule and the generations of old.  Several rumor sites said that it would run iOS and cache Apple software updates for all of your devices... neither of those rumors ended up being true.  In fact, Apple didn't modify any components but the hard drives. Overheating plagued the Time Capsule since its first generation: [...]

Connect to a Mac server share point with Windows 7 via VPN

Over the years, we’ve set up many clients with a Mac server for VPN, file sharing, Web Hosting, etc.  During that time, the number of “bilingual” companies (I use that term for offices that speak both Mac and PC) increased dramatically.  Most, if not all, of our new server installations ask about PC connectivity for file sharing.  It only takes a few minutes to configure the Mac server for VPN, but the client-side configuration can [...]
