Got me a base spec 13 inch pro for uni work
My '09 15 inch has become my mum's new pc (she's ecstatic as its beyond the nicest laptop she's ever owned, and she fixed my car) but this thing is so small and awesome
For general info this was provided by student finance through the DSA and I couldn't be bothered to press the sales guy further to get the base 13 inch air as he was the grumpus... But I feel this is a lot better than the basic thing I was offered originally (had to give them some money to get mac but it was so worth it)
All it needs now is a birthday SSD (jan if anyone wants to give me a present...)
mostly as I haven't used a normal hard drive in 18 months and its not super fast...

Haha, similar here!
Started with a 3gs 16gb.
Since then we purchased a iPhone 4 (gf), iPhone 4s (me), iMac late 2010 27", MBP early 2011 (dads) and hopefully soon a white macbook from the MM for the other half

Same here, thats some conversion! I'm debating on a Time Capsual next.
I'm really pleased with the time capsule. Like all mac stuff... it just works !
Sure, it doesn't have any data redundancy if it does go pop, but my plan is to mirror the absolutely critical stuff (digital photos etc) on a 1TB drive I've plugged into the USB port.
Do it, they're awesome. I've disabled wifi on my adsl router, and I use the Netgear for now is to serve out IPs to the LAN. The TC acts as an access point and does everything else. Wireless N/G dual radio, Gb ethernet, etc.
Storage wise it serves out AFP and Time Machine backups, and with samba enabled acts as a file share for XBMC running on the ATV2.
People say they're a lot for 2TB of attached storage, but when you factor in it's router functionality and standards it's actually a pretty good price.

Thats the sort of stories I love to hear.
I am going to look into investing one once I move into my new property. Hopefully can handle the BT Infinity bandwidth of up to 37 meg down.
