Yeah, the ones with an included wireless access point are pretty cool,
and we've been having a lot of trouble with the airport recently.  I
picked up the Linksys BEFW11S4 at CompUSA for $129.99 this past weekend
(I finally got broadband Internet at home); I'd be willing to loan this
for each meeting except I often don't get to meetings early since I
bring the pizza.
