Disklavier

George,

What will waiting for the 802.11n  version give me?  faster transmission of data?

This sounds like a good solution and I have two $50 gift certificates for Apple Store 
presently and would prefer to buy Apple related equipment anyway.  At least it could be 
used for transmitting music and last time I considered the purchase of the airport express, 
it was backordered and I just did not purchase one at the time.
