[ale] OT computer vanity - wanting (needing) more cores

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Jason,

I wanted to say thanks for this info.  Sorry for not responding sooner.  I hope to tinker with conky some when I have some time.  Scott C has also mentioned it, but I haven't had a chance to do something with it yet.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
