Apple Airport Express
Everyone should have an Apple Airport Express.
No reason not to really. They work with PCs and Mac alike. They are an elegant solution to serving up some wi-fi, handling printing duties and getting music from your laptop wirelessly to your stereo. And it all integrates wonderfully with iTunes.
And they are so small, that they work as a great mobile wi-fi solution. I took one fairly recently on a trip with me where a group of us were meeting in a hotel and I was able to set up a mobile network for anyone in the meeting who wanted internet access.
I have two in my house - one upstairs and one downstairs - partially to connect to the two main stereo setups and partially to make sure that the wireless coverage is sufficient. Frankly, they aren't the cheapest solution if you have to buy more than one. But considering the prevlance of laptops, they are almost a must-have piece of gear to get your laptop hooked up to some music and print capabilities - especially since using a wire to do so is very inconvenient.
So, if you don't have one. Go and get one. Best $159 CAD you'll spend for a computer peripheral.
