Go back and read all the other posts in the thread :)

Yes, I'm using Airport (which is an 802.11b product based on Lucent's
Wavelan/Orinoco Silver product, with 64bit WEP encryption) at both
home and work. I love it. The Airport PC cards are $99, the Airport
base station is $299, and you can use Lucent cards in any PC for 
~$300 or less:

For $69, you can get PCI Lucent cards (basically, just a PCMCIA card
interface glued to a PCI card, AFAICT, so you should even be able to
yank it out and use it in a laptop - YMMV).

I'm not sure I'd give up on catV for the office just yet, though we
are using wireless for presentations and the like, but it's getting
too cheap not to try wireless if you're interested.
