  He hasn't heard of Apple's Airport.

  I guess Apple's innovations don't count until someone else copies them?
  
  Apple's had this for over a year.

    Uh, well, I guess you haven't heard of Lucent.
    
    Of course, there's Breezecom, SpeedLAN, Aironet, WiLAN and a cast of thousands who
    made wireless equipment long before there was any unifying "standard" by which equipment
    makers could inter-operate. Funny how prices have been dropping now that real standard
    is in effect. As for DSSS equipment, I can't wait until Bluetooth becomes so prevelant that
    all those 802.11b access points start shitting all over themselves because they can't find
    any contiguously available ISM frequency space.
    
    Then there's HyperLAN, Raidata and that fool who wanted to launch ISM band satellites into
    space.
    
    Yes, the revolution will be truely glorious and marked by an ever increasing amount of failure;
    adopt early, cash in and get the hell out before the fools realize what's going to happen to them.
