Yes. 802.11b is insecure, and my business continues to use it.

Do I lose sleep over it?
Would our shareholders ACTUALLY lose a penny of value if the traffic
were intercepted?

No!

Do I actually give a stuff if hackers are able to snoop my wireless home
network and read my email?

No! The worst that they could see would be my tax returns - this year -
a personal best at 20 pages :-)
