CAT 5 via D-Link's AC line adapters. I switched to that three months ago. Wireless in my house had to traverse three levels, and it was always fluctuating up and down in signal strength. CAT 5 solved that problem. CAT 5 dedicated cabling into all the rooms would be sensible if a good, hard look at the costs revealed no downside. Wireless is simple and cheap when it is located where it works well. Fit the solution to the problem.

I still have all my stuff from when I was part of the Windows 3.1 beta.

I use it because I know it, and for the kinds of programming I do (small projects) it is a fast way to get the work done. It lacks nothing I need. There is no benefit to using anything else.

Bravo!
