[ale] vmware and memory allocation

[Ron Frazier]

That's pretty cool.  I've been trying to figure out a way to monitor all 
CPU cores in Windows the way I can with the system monitor? and CPU 
frequency scaling monitor panel applets under Gnome.  With resource 
monitor, I can at least click the CPU tab, select small view, and put 
the window down in the corner of my screen.  It's not as clean as I'd 
like, since it's not in the taskbar, and it doesn't actually show the 
CPU frequency, but it's better than task manager will do.

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
