Those folks don't know how to format a proper webpage, so you have to
wonder about the quality of their advice. And you don't have to read
far to see the advice isn't any better than the webpage formatting;
e.g.,

* B doesn't conserve battery life as compared to G. In fact newer G
chipsets tend to have better power management than older B chipsets.

* Speed is managed by the access point, not the wireless client.

* OFDM (G) tends to be more robust than BPSK (B).

* G doesn't have different channel requirements than B.

* G doesn't cost more than B.

* Although B does interfere with G, it doesn't "nullify" it.

* Pentium processors don't operate in the 2.4 GHz band.
