    Any way to speed up LAN file transfer with Airport?

    Try not to use AFP shares - it is a very slow protocol. I have SSH and SMB running over airport and I find either of them quicker. FTP is quicker as well. If you do a search on this site there are threads discussing setting up SMB and SSH. If anybody has any faster protocols then I would be...

    Looking for a MySQL frontend to build forms in, etc.

    There are a variety of free PHP scripts out there that may help. Not one will give you the full functionality of MSAcess forms, but using a combination of them may provide you with the functionality that you require. PHPMyAdmin is a great start and what I use for day to day administration of...
