Wireless

This keyboard is now wireless. As is this mouse *wiggles mouse, thus proving its wirelessness*. Unfortunately, the monitor is so far still wired, which means that although theoretically I could be typing this from way over on the other side of the room, my eyesight prevents me wandering further than a squint away. That and the fact that moving to the other side of the room would require standing up, and I'm only willing to do that if its neatly sewn into my desk-to-bathroom journey, or if a bag of Skittles is involved. I suppose the wirelessness of the keyboard does allow for laid back, keyboard-on-lap typing, but since that is where my guitar invariably resides, I see no point for this extended range.
And while I'm on the subject of pointless wireless set-ups, what is the point of a wireless system that lets you use internet on a laptop all over the house? The kitchen is for cooking, and the dining room is for eating the products of the kitchen. The conservatory is for playing poker in, the lounge is for watching Top Gear in, and the study is for playing FIFA 98 in. The only place I can envisage using an internet enabled laptop is at the desk where the PC currently sits.
It seems I've talked my self out of getting a laptop, which is a shame. I'd like to have somewhere for my stuff, which takes up the majority of the space on this PC. My 50GB of music, plus however much memory Football Manager, FIFA 08, FIFA Manager 08 and Brian Lara Cricket use. I could dump it all on my PC, but we come back to a common problem. My PC is in my room, a full 10 metres from this desk. The going back and forth with memory sticks, the frustration at my intolerably slow Dell. Its not worth the bother.
