Option Clicking AirPort Menu Item

Option AirPort Menu.png Learn something new every day. In MacOS X, if you click on the little AirPort menubar item while holding down the Option key, you get a ton more information about the network you’re connected to. That’s my home wireless basestation to the left over there. Hover over unconnected networks, wait a few seconds, and you’ll get more info as a tooltip.

I picked this tip up from Glenn Fleishman over at TidBITS, where he was discussing other little tweaks to the AirPort menu item that appear in Snow Leopard.
