While I agree with you on the convenience of high-speed networking,  
it is not a question of switching to high-speed services. The irony  
of the situation is that depending on location, wireless is not a  
reliable solution presently. The mandatory pre-configuration at every  
new location is cumbersome and fraught with potential glitches (see  
my posts circa mid-August). If you do not need to be mobile then It  
seems that ethernet cable is the only reliable, viable alternative  
8-) ....but the big desktop is wired this way.

My post is merely an exploration of networking issues.
