I remember experimenting with "homeRF". I cannot remember for the life
of me what it was like.

and to me, why wifi took off was that it had a strong investment by
apple AND heavy interest from the geek community, with a couple
drivers that actually worked, and because of the coffee shop
phenomenon....

Shure, everything else here was important, too:
