Homeplugs are GREAT
In defence of homeplugs.
For those of us for whom deep-techie knowhow is never going to happen, Homeplugs are great.
I get 1.9 whatnots per whatever, and my homeplugs share that to the quite a long way away 2nd puter at about 1.85. The wireles laptops lurking around the house do OK, but we've got thick internal walls, so they're not 100% reliable..
She who must be obeyed does not want more cables around the house, and I'm not about to drill thru all the joists.
So - Homeplugs have a place!!!
