The Death Of .b?

Do we even need 802.11b anymore? Go to the stores today, and most of the equipment there is 802.11g. Some stores still carry leftover .11b inventory, but the pricing is almost identical and there's almost no reason to bother with it. So, it looks like 802.11b may be at the end of its retail lifecycle, even if most people don't actually use the increased bandwidth found between b and g (though, that may be changing).
