While that may be true, in my environment wireless is nearly useless.  
Too much interference; the 4 schools across the street from me have *at 
least* 20 APs channel hopping all the time.  The worst part is that they 
got the grant *after* I built my wireless network: full coverage of my 
house from 3 APs, one in the van, and wireless cards for my PDA and 
laptop.  All useless now.

So basically, pull cable.  It's not so bad; I'be grown to like the attic 
now that my back is permanently hunched and scarred.... :-)
