(Explanation at bottom, if you don't know what Bluetooth is.)
Does anyone have any experience with these? I have cable on the family pc right now, and was going to just sign up for another modem with Road Runner when I built my new computer, but that would cost $50 a month from me, something I don't want to do. So I was thinking about just moving the cable modem to my new computer, and running the family pc off of a Bluetooth network. (Mainly because I use the computer a lot, playing games and downloading files, stuff that requires good ping, and they use the computer... maybe one hour a week...)
But if I am forced to use the Bluetooth off of my computer, would it be so bad?
For those that don't know, Bluetooth is a new, unique style of wireless networking. A little device is plugged into a USB port (literally) on each computer, and BAM a network is up, running at about 1 MBPS. Check out the description and picture here from NewEgg.
