 Ask me in a few weeks ;)

 Apparently the boss is getting a base station & a few PCMCIA cards, so
people can move around the office, or walk into the conference room,
without worrying about network cables etc.

 Think the price of a base unit is about £2000, and it's about £300 for
each 2mbit PCMCIA card after that. Not 100% sure though.
