Just got the May 2, 2003 Time magazine. The one with Secrets of the New Matrix on the front cover. Towards the front of the articles they print quotes by famous people. This one struck me as extremely funny.

"Bill Gates' house is totally out of date. He built it right before wireless happened. The big tunnels for all his wires - he doesn't need that stuff anymore." Martha Stewart , discussing her new infatuation with wireless technology, as well as with smaller homes

Originally posted by mcleodnine Yikes. I guess Bill and I have somehting in common. I have no wireless either and plan to stay that way for a while yet.
I'd have to agree.. I had wireless setup in my house and it just sucked. I'll wait maybe another decade and check in on the progress of how stable wireless can be cause you can't beat an actual line to deliver your data for ya..
wireless sucks when you are connecting servers or desktops but when it comes to laptops you should have wireless , go around the house without any wires, thats way too much fun to ignore
I've got a friend that has her apple imac with the airport wireless card that receives it's connection from a linksys wireless router connected to dsl. She reports no problems. Just got of the phone with her. And she does the limewire thingy. She loves it. The imac is in the kitchen - the router is up stairs.
