How Awesome

Regardless of my android phone, I am so freakin impressed with Apple it sickens me sometimes. I just updated the airport utility from downstairs, via back to my mac remotely. It disconnected during update, then reconnected by itself. Never had to leave my chair. I'd like to see that on Windows. (sarcasm)
Apple freakin rocks.
