[Ti] Tiger and Airport reception fluctuations

[Justin R. Miller]

I have heard that Apple changed the Airport menu item so that the  
bars represent the throughput instead of the signal strength.  So,  
following that logic, although you are close to the base station,  
perhaps anothe client is using it and thus your throughput  
fluctuates?  The more clients that are connected, the lower the  
overall speed for each is.

Just a direction to think about...
