Well, for me, I am in no urgent need of wireless networking.  I can simply
bide my time and wait until prices come down (or conversely, I have a big
windfall :) ).  For "local" networking, I can make do with a long Cat 5
cable from the hub to sit outside in the sun and surf the Net. :-)

Well, at $100, I'd be very tempted. :-)  And I can homebrew the antennas to
save a bit more. :)
