Lasers, baby! lasers!

I don't like 802.11b (if I want to broadcast I'll get a ham radio licence
thaguverybuch*).  I so want to have laser beams carrying my data around
near the ceilings.  Mainly cos it would look so nifty when I fog the place
up with cigar smoke.

Right now though, I just run cat5 under the carpets and along the skirting
boards.

If you save all your money for three years, you'll be able to afford this
new computer.  If, however, you blow all your money on poker, booze and
loose women - you'll still be able to afford it in three years.
