via [SiT] - See the Dan Bricklin Log for the connection between a martial arts movie and an emphasis on education:

It is pretty easy to understand why high-tech executives are hot on education. They need more and more skilled workers, and competency in math and science is necessary for those skills. Advancement needs new technologies and new technologies are developed by people who understand science, math, and how to learn. Continuing education is necessary to keep our work force up to date.

I also noted that Dan believes

... that 802.11b is going to be a major player in the near-term. It lets you do everything as if you were on a normal Ethernet network, but without the wires. Setting it up is relatively easy and it fits in well with existing systems.

Dan has also taken the trouble to document [His] Home Network: Wireless 802.11b and a Router/Switch and did a really nice job of showing his set-up. And I'm not just syaying that because...

As is often the case, Apple pioneered using this in a real system. The iBook portable was built assuming that 802.11b would be used (their AirPort).
