I agree about the grasping at straws. I can understand certain portions of the
user community keeping the myth alive but I see similar solutions offered at
waht I would regard as knowledgeable web sites, magazines and books that should
know better.

The .plist delete didn't work for me as when I brought the Macbook out of sleep
now it couldn't find my wireless network. It's only a minor irritation for me
as turning the laptop's airport wireless off and on cures it's brain-dead
status and finds my wireless network. It's just that with OS X 10.4x in it's
final stages right now ( 10.5 supposedly due out next month ), one would expect
Apple to have their act together especially for their current equipment
