I'll have to think that there are lots of factors; we used to have
an early 1980's microwave, huge and powerful, about six feet away
from our WAP and there was never a problem. Maybe the laptop's
chipset was sensitive in unusual ways, or something.<br>
<br>
And I have to agree, 2.4GHz wifi is dangerous right now...but not
really with directional antennas, banks are still using 2.4GHz for
ATMs across quite a lot of space outdoors, with directionals. And
there's always 5GHz...IR...UV...visible...:-) <br>

The motivation for me is simple. I have worn out too many USB ports
to be happy about it!!! I have thought of trying to throw USB over
three 1/4" phone jack cables (using the <u>extremely</u> <u></u>durable
traditional Switchcraft hardware), but have thought that I would
probably run into impedance, isolation, or something else hidden in
USB. I have also spent quite a lot of time looking for adapter
combos which would let me use microUSB for the common detachments,
but it seems that the parts builders just haven't had me in mind.<br>
