Is the HP Media Smart device a close match to what you are looking for in a NAS media storage device?

I have a nas Device NexStar Lx to which both my pc and mac use. I map the drive on the pc and it just shows up on the mac.

I just ordered this device, pogoplug.com, and hope to get on the beta testing. Access any usb hardrive over your network or the internet

You all have been asking for a file solution for a mixed Windows, Mac household. I need an answer for the Windows (wife), Mac (my laptop) and Linux (my Desktop) household. Not trying to make things more complicated but there has to be an answer out there.

Hey Rafe, Tom,
Thanks for reading my message about Windows 7 :)

This might not have anything to do with anything but on Saturday, I noticed that all my Google ended up giving "Harmful Website" results.
I was a little bit surprised by how quickly I switched to using yahoo as my primary search engine when this happened. And it was not that bad.
If this is representative of the general public, I guess Google's hold on us is a little more tenuous than we might have thought.

Love the show,
Didi
