Hmm...I have not played enough with wireless - I am actually one of
these fools who likes wired access - fewer problems. I live in an
apartment building complex of 3 buildings, across the street from a
community college. 

I assume that, between the apartment buildings and the college, there's
enough energy being flung around in the 2.4GHz range to defrost
hamburgers without a microwave. Maybe pop corn without Dean's popcorn
button.

On a wired SB (1 or 3), if it can't find an ethernet connection, it
clearly says so. I would have thought it does the same with wireless,
but I guess I shouldn't assume.

I actually *do* have one wireless SB1 (which I don't use wireless) but
I guess I could crank it up and see if it survives the cross-traffic
and boots up wireless.

Not that anyone is going to go back and fix an SB1 now ... 

Who knows? Maybe I don't need to be paying $50 a month for my cable
modem ...
