    Who here still uses the 2004 AirPort Express?

    Hello, I have recently gotten an AirPort Express 2004 and I am so shocked to see that it still runs and preforms great. It makes a really good wifi extender and the speeds on it are excellent for a 2004 machine. Does anyone else here use it still? Let me know.
