[X4U] Wireless Reception

[Bill Calamita]

My office just installed wireless service and in one area, an aluminum
Powerbook gets almost unusable reception, while a PC that is stationed about
15 feet farther from the base station (not an Airport) gets great reception.
The coworker with an iBook wasn't around to test his reception.  (We just
'energized' the wireless network on Friday, so we'll test the iBook early
this week.)
