I say all of this to suggest that you may want to place a wireless router in a more central area of the house to allow access virtually anywhere. It is handy indeed to be able to take my laptop to any room or outside on the deck so that I can spend far too much time on audio boards!

Thanks for the suggestion. I am concerned with security and wireless networks, though. At work, they are a pita for the it people.

When I built a house a long time ago, I went in before the sheetrock was placed, and took a lot of pictures of the stud locations, so that I could more easily add wires in the future should the need arise (which it did). I was quite proud of my ability to think ahead in this regard..


Film in the camera would have been nice, though...
