Not sure if it's come up here about the Time capsule failures. Charles
Arthur has written about it here:

<http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/jul/13/apple-time-capsul
e-failure-analysis>

The dodgy ones have a serial number in a particular range (XX807XXXXXX -
XX814XXXXXX) - mine's XX910 which is encouraging since it's transferring
to a new i7 MBP with 4 hours 20 to go.

Further down the article a wider range is mentioned: "xx807xxxxxxx
through xx852xxxxxxx - very much broader than those in the statement
yesterday."

I wonder if this transfer would have been a lot quicker over ethernet...

A lot quicker really. Always plug in machines for that first backup as
the gigabit will shift data a whole load faster then N wifi.

I had a Time Capsule fail due to the power supply, bought it in the
States in 2008. Contacted Apple support and explained I had read about
the problem on various sites and I was sent a replacement free of
charge.

It all went smoothly if somewhat slowly - I couldn't find an ethernet
cable and couldn't be bothered to unplug the Mac Pro's one under the
desk.

I'm using the new 15" i7 anti-glare now with all my old stuff in place.
