You are right. I was thinking he wanted the wireless for himself even 
though I read what everyone else read. Doh! I need to focus.

Anyway, WPA is where you want to move for inexpensive but secure wireless. 
I've been told it's not perfect, but it's not WEP either. All of the 
vendors should be supporting WPA, at least in the 802.11g products, Real 
Soon Now. Some, like Belkin, already do.
