Along with my new MacPro I also picked up one of the new-generation dual-band (whatever that is) Time Capsules, which is like an Airport Extreme (router plus dual-band wireless base station) with a 1TB backup disk tacked on. I'll use the backup disk for Fumie's MacMini, and perhaps my old MacBook.

He wanted to do the flying game we have (RealFlight R/C Flight Simulator) and I tried it on Fusion and it almost worked, but didn't.
