I think there's a calling for that... I like B&M Shopping, but it would have been nice. (And too easy) to go to my iPhone and say "Size __ Colour__ Style__ " Etc.

Now if the button to finish says "Total charge: $00.00, THAT would be great!

While it is true that the older iPod Touches did not come equipped with a microphone on the device, the more recent generations support the microphone on the Apple's iPhone earbuds. Therefore, even if you have a Touch that's a couple of years old, so long as you have the proper earphones, you can still used Skype when you're connected to wi-fi.

Jeffery,

The set up is

Cable <--> Linksys "cable modem" < Ethernet> Airport Extreme <USB> Drobo

Where I think there may be two NAT working is the Linksys and the AE, not the Drobo. So I was thinking the Linksys and AE were the two NATs. The Linksys is not WiFi, and the AE is not cable-ready, so I need the AE. Nowhere did I think the Drobo was NAT capable.

The Drobo on USB used to be a tiny bit slow on USB2, until I turned on Back to my Mac, and now I can almost go out and shot the cow to make a roast beef sandwich before it responds.

The Drobo is capable of either Ethernet OR USB2, but not both at the same time. The BTMM instructions I read said that to access a external drive, it would have to be connected by USB to the AE. So I assume this is a BTMM limitation.

I have changed the Airport Utility settings to make File Sharing WAN accessible, password protected and guests blocked. So now I need to figure out how to disable the NAT in the Linksys and I should be done. All I want or need from the Linksys is a dumb cable bridge. Let the AE do all the heavy lifting and card tricks.
