1) It DOES have concurrent access.
2) IT DOES allow network printing.
3) The new build is supposed to be completely different from the original.

Also, colonoscopy? gross.

Well it appears I will have to eat my words on point 1, my information was apparently outdated.

Point 2 I will argue that there is a difference between remotely accessing a printer and having a print server.  However, I am told that that may also be effected by this new build.

Point 3 is just good news as far as I am concerned.

This is good news for not only the Mac users, but all users. If the new firmware addresses some of the problems that have distracted users from really enjoying this router then all is good.(Or better at least)
Really looking forward to testing this out.
I am a Mac user running Leopard/Vista 64 bit.(Boot Camp)
Shareport 1.14 runs fine in Windows on all the PC's in our house.
It will be nice to setup the Mac's to do the same.

Great to hear a redesign of the utilty is on its way, with concurrent access.


And about the MAC user bashing: I think we kept it quite decent, there was no mob attack here. If there were any complaints about this behaviour, please share it with us.

I have seen no issues, the one thing I mentioned was supposed to be mostly tongue in cheek.

I just wanted to make sure the guy didn't get scared and not come back because he had offered his hand in making the product better for everyone and got laughed at.

Besides, I am not really in a position to slap anyone's hand for etiquette concerns...


In short, we are all just having fun here, I know of no skinned knees.

I regularly bash Macs. I mean common, we all know that the Windowz is better, what with is BSOD and billions of on-line enabled marketing viruses? Besides if Mac was the superior OS, then all the great anti-virus software producing companies would be out of the business and unable to provide their amazing services and software.

Viva la Microsoft. :)
