I believe this interests some people. me, for example, sure the "industry" might not be able to "use" it, but art has no "use" per se, it's just a nice thing to have, one of those things that seperates us from the animals.
it's also very very very very hard to get it around corners and such, as it can't go at the wierd angles that cat 5 has no problems. not to mention you have to find a proffessional to do it, and they're not cheap either, few and far between now. I agree with the wireless solution, it's easiest, especially for established homes, but i have mine all wired with cat 5.
It is my experience that even in higher education, most administrations are still stuck behind the view that students are just dummies there to absorb info from the profs. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow for any leeway for things such as student run computer labs. Whenever i'm doing work in my lab (well, not mine, per se but the one I frequent) I spend more time trouble shooting for the administrator on duty, than actually working, hey, why not let me do it.......
as a die hard macintosh user, and a beginning linux user, i can safely say that OS X will have it's place, and linux will have it's place. I am currently running a linux build on a power mac 6100/60, something i could never do with OS X. OS X is promising to those of use who have been with the mac platform for years, as it will breath new life into the platform, and revitalize, but it certainly won't take the place of unices already in place.
