I thought it was supposed to just work

Our wireless router died last week so I bought an Apple Time Capsule to replace it and the external hard drive I had been using to back up our computers. This was supposed to be a great improvement because it is a faster wireless router, and the hard drive means that our machines would be backed up without attaching a USB cable to them every day. But something went wrong, and I ended up spend all my free time (which is not very much these days) for a week trying to figure out why my computer was trying to back up 100GB of data, over the wireless network, every time I changed anything in my backup configuration.  I finally determined that it was because something had gotten corrupted within my OS, and so was able to fix the problem, but not before I got very tired of dealing with it.
