316430	2005-01-21 08:11:00	It'll be about as fast as a 10Mbps wired network or an 802.11b wireless network, but most wired networks these days have a theoretical maximum of 100Mbps (which can't be reached anyway) - but if you aren't going to be doing huge file transfers, 14Mbps should be perfectly fine.	agent (30)

Agreed...I don't know why anyone would bother now the wireless revolution is here. See in Harvey Normals they've got the next step up from the 'g' standard. Not cheap but I notice new standards keep coming out regularly that are superior...leaving the older ones to drop in price significantly.	manicminer (4219)

However, with wireless connections and all the rest, you can now easily go wireless. Not only is this cheaper, you don't even need a power point for it! -assuming your computer has power already :p	~sy~ (95)
