I agree.
As useful as the wireless and power bars are, I think they contribute to
people (myself included) feeling that we should be doing three things at
once.
The wireless access is likely key to actually giving everyone a chance to
get online, but I recall a lot of useful work that occured in the terminal
room. I also recall deciding to go to the terminal room rather than find a
session that I can "cross-fertilize" --- now if I pick wrong, then I just
don't pay attention, but I still take up room. (I become aware of my own
behaviour at Pittsburgh)
So maybe WG chairs should have the right to unplug the wireless access
points :-)
