802.11b Expires

Good news/bad news about 802.11b: According to this article, 802.11b expires today, 1-April-2009. That shouldn't be a surprise, but it sort of crept up on me. I suppose it's all for the best: 802.11b slows down networks, fools people into using a broken encryption standard, and keeps the economy from getting back up to speed. Forcing people to buy new adapters is probably a good way to jumpstart purchases.
