My house is wired too - installed it when we ran new electrics. But there is
a big difference between being tied to a cord (no matter how convenient it
is) and being wireless. I can work in the yard, go next door, roam the
building at work, sit at the coffeehouse, even perch the computer on my '57
Chevy and search for a part. Besides, you¹ve never heard of WEP? And, having
an airport card doesn't mean you can't use a wire if you and the boss are
paranoid about WiFi. Of course, being tethered to a wire doesn't mean you
are secure.
