Looks like SystemStarter was replaced by launchd in Tiger along with a host of other services.

Yep. It appears that the old familar location - SystemStarter is not there anymore. I used EasyFind to search all files (invisible, inside of packages, etc.) for .pdf, .tif, .tiff,…

Sorry I posted false info

This doesn't work for me. Even when logged in as root I don't see that folder you mentioned. I also can't find it with EasyFind. What's the path?

Nope. None on a 12" 1.5GHz.

my airport base station is downstairs. when i am downstairs i get full signal. in my room (up stairs, far away from the base station) i used to get about 2 bars. yesterday i not…

i posted a comment regarding this issue about a week ago in another thread also regarding airport reception... i personally have noticed increased signal strength (similar setup a…
