No doubt true, but I've not found anything else you can park along the 
edge of the screen on every workspace so you've a constantly visible 
machine status. And I've not found anything that can report psu etc 
voltages, or fan speeds from those that have tach's since buster.  Temps 
and other stuff still work though.  I find it handier than the lock 
button on the outhouse door at a family picnic. If Bill wilson has 
dropped it, what are folks using now?

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
