Wireless networking seems to be the rage right now -  most of the
usual mass-marketing places have all the gear available, and at
fairly low prices.

I don't think I'd be very comfortable with a wireless network for here -
- there was a special investigative report here on local TV a couple
months back.  They sent out like 3 teams of security expert "hackers"
thru various neighborhoods and near small businesses - - it was amazing
the number of networks they could hack into,  while sitting in a vehicle
out on the street in front of the places.
