I am afraid a radiolink may be too slow comparing to what other
OS- and network- related presenters and vendors will have and to
what most targeted visitors (suits, corporate types, MIS?) are
used to. You may have to explain to some that it's the network
that is slow rather than the OS. In fact, if I were Comdex
donating a $5000 booth at my exhibition I would not hesitate to
throw a lousy 10bT wire along as well. :)
