------------------
I agree with the others on this.

We went with wireless for a portable laptop lab when lack of space 
and the cost of remodeling and wiring would have prohibited us from 
adding another lab. It has worked well for us, especially since the 
computers can be wheeled around and used in most of the classrooms in 
the building. However, when we are upgrading machines in our wired 
labs, we will continue to go with standard, wired, desktop models, 
that are generally cheaper and provide more bandwidth overall.
