Translation: If you live with cows, you won't see a difference even
though you
will. If you live in a normal environment with other humans jamming up the
bandwidth using wireles everything, not to mention man-made interference
from
a wide variety of things... you will notice a difference without question.

Thus concludes today's lesson from Dr. Imindaboonies on the lack of any
difference between wired and wireless systems, contrary to virtually every
know
fact for the last 5-10 years alone. Talk bout closed-minded.
