Through various posts on the former, neither you nor Dallas actually told us exactly how (Step 1, Step 2
. . . ) you arranged this. In my case, it's academic, since between the stock WarpCentre bar at top of
screen and the C-A-D Cmdr. bar at bottom of screen, I have all this info displayed and more. If I want
larger, more detailed graphs of system activity, I can always pop them up from Graham. (TaskMgr., or
whatever he calls that.) Come to think of it, I could probably make this a tray item in the WarpCentre.
Some folks have had little good to say about WC, but -- aside from how small the icons are -- I rather
like it. Whatever replaces it in ECS is going to have to be pretty fantastic to induce me to drop WC for
it.

This sounds a whole lot more useful than what the Programming SIG was formerly doing. It's a major
contribution to our little community. Make some new, _significant_ h/w item suddenly usable for said
community, and you will have a real impact.
