Widget of the Week
By Art@Smalldog.com
This week's widget is one that I would suggest you AVOID downloading and making active on your Dashboard.
It's called Airport Radar and is posted by MacWireless.com.
Here's the link;

The intention of this widget is to allow your computer to seek out and test signal strength for any wireless networks in the area.
It has been my experience that many of these kinds of wireless radar widgets actually detract from overall performance. They tie up your wireless functionality because they are constantly scanning for signal in the background. Definitely not desirable for someone who depends on a fast, reliable wireless network.
If you like your signal strength, do NOT download and install this widget.
Of course, savvy users like yourselves would download it (as it could be convenient in some cases) and only turn it on when needed.
