My house was built in '52 and I think I have a cable connection in 4 rooms. I don't have a need for wireless since I have only one desk top now.
My wife has a lap top but only uses it away from home (she travels frequently on business) Wireless is nice and for your wife's lap top sounds ideal.
Now, I will interject my own question that someone may be able to answer: I haven't had a land line phone in several years and never plan on having one. I wonder if I could get the phone company to come out here and remove their ugly wires leading to my house?
You can ask, but there's not much incentive for them to do it, insofar as removal costs them money and gains them nothing. That is, unless you offer to defray the cost of removal, of course. Plus, from their point of view, eventually you'll pass on (sorry) or sell the house or something, and someone else will live there, who may in turn want landline service. At which point, someone will have to pay the cost of running a new wire.
But, you can always ask - just don't get your hopes up ;)
