You just dig yourself deeper don't you.

Closed minded would be to say Wireless can NEVER be considered useful for
gaming. However I, myself, have played UT2003 between two wired PCs and my
laptop on WiFi (802.11b I think it was back then) and there were no noticable
lag.

Its very closed minded to say that you can ALWAYS notice 2ms of lag.

Notice, I never said EVERYONE would have a perfect wireless experience. But
it happens there is very little interference for me. I get full 54G across
the road in a friends house and so long as I keep the laptop in line of sight
(granted tricky as I tend to use it on my lap) it works brilliant. Granted I
wouldn't game across there as a large van driving between the buildings might
drop the connection - but for web browsing its fine and again the lag
difference is around 2ms vs wired.

Alex.
