Posted this in a Mac forum, but wanted some other viewpoints...





I purchased a MacBook Pro recently. I already had an extensive
collection of photos on a 1TB external hard drive. I love iPhoto and
would love to use it to manage all my photos, including the ones I had
prior to purchasing the MacBook.



My first thought was to buy an AirPort Extreme and share the external
drive via WiFi. For iTunes, it works great, but with iPhoto is
unbearably slow. I guess I could move all the pictures from my external
drive onto the MacBook hard drive, but I'd rather not do that. At the
same time, having to access an external hard drive directly sort of
defeats the point of the mobility of a notebook.



I'm sure I can't be unique in this predicament...what's the best solution?
