I don't think we are looking to actually use the GB for desktops, mainly cause the majority of our machines have 10/100 cards in them. As far as the wiring, there is no way in Hades that we have the money or resources to run new wire in any or every building. We are lucky to be able to upgrade to 10/100/1000 switches from our present majority of 10MB hubs....
