I have to say, I still prefer a wired connection. The ethernet protocol, or the entire CSMACD concept is an integral part of the modern methods - wi'fi, bluetooth, USB; it's the only way all the devices share the medium.

With that in mind, I want to share with you that with regards to manipulating data on my home network, I pretty much stick to WiFi. However, Today I needed to copy an enormous amount of data from a NAS drive to one of my computers. Slowly but surely I am removing all data from NAS for reasons described in prior threads. So, as I began the copy process, I was told that it would take about 6 hours. Then, I remembered that along with my new Mac, I purchased a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor. Using a wired connection, the same amount of data was transferred in less than 35 minutes. So, no matter how much progress we make, let's remember and revere the old-school style that came before as, in some cases, it's still going strong.
