    ... now that I've finished wiring my house -- convincing myself all the while that all my effort was worth the extra bandwidth...

    Well, at least now I have a whole new relationship with my attic and with the spiders in the cellar that wireless would have never permitted.

    Wireless is going to cause a revolution in our societies, geeks will start to mingle with normal people in the living rooms, and our world will change forever :-)

    Always glad to help.
