Re: OT: Wireless Internet

[Brian.Henderson@xxxxxxxx]

Maybe what I should have said was that I never heard further news about
whether the initial problems with the system (which I don't recall
exactly...noise, and something else, I think) were solved. To me, that
fact that it's not widely used says a lot.

Wireless is definitely an improvement over CAT cable (in terms of
convenience anyway). But I have too many signal strength problems with
my wireless system. I'd rather have a non-wireless but easy to deploy
household LAN. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. On the
other hand, it may just be that there aren't ENOUGH people who feel that
way. Wireless DOES have its advantages, especially for the increasingly
laptop/iphone equipped population.
