Interesting thread.
If it was summarized, we might say that for the vast majority of users,
you can't use two connections  simultaneously without a whole lot of
geeky tweaking that's of use only to the most hard-core users.
Desktops with WiFi are very common because many homes have multiple
computers that can't easily be wired. (My roommate's desktop computer
has been been wireless for many years because it's on the second floor
and running Ethernet would be a huge hassle.)
Wireless printers are usually network printers, so there's no need to
have WiFi to use them.

*Well, you have to admit the first response was ambiguous at best.*

*The part I missed is both connections are going out to the same ISP so
you
are only as fast as that connection which is a lot less then the 54 MbPS
and
100 MbPS connections I have "To the Same ISP ". I didnt get that far in
my
thought process before I asked the question. I was just curious about a
desktop having a WIFI card. Printing would be the most obvious answer
but I
dont have wireless printers. I have enough troubles with my wired ones
jamming and clogging.*
