The situation is really different in Germany. 11B is fast here and also 
useful. I own an ARtem 11b card and have no problem connecting with it 
to any kind of network.
In fact, as Lewis explained to me in Denver, all the clients of an AP 
switch from the "fast" 11G to the "slow" 11B as soon as there is ONE 11B 
client in the network!
There are milions of Centrino laptops out there that were all 11b until 
a year or so ago. So the chance to be on a network with only 11G clients 
is close to zero. (at least in public places, not talking about your 
home network!)

The only problem I see is the availability of 11B cards. However, there 
are ways to purchase them.

Regards,

Robert
