Cool. With my Mac Mini, I'll look at the fan RPMs and wonder, "What? The fans are on?" If it weren't for this widget, I would've wondered if they ever turned on. I find it most handy for tracking my RAM. I've discovered that I am extremely low on RAM when doing even mundane tasks. Sure, Activity Viewer shows this info, but it's so much handier to track as a widget. Anyway, seeing the low RAM makes me wonder how often my Mac Mini is bogging down just because of RAM, the poor little guy. Also, have you noticed that the CPU usage appears to report as a single core? I'm assuming that's what is happening, because I've seen processes reported as running at over 100%. Lol! Cool.

That looks snazzier than the version I have. When my fans get going, I like to pull it up and be like, wow, I better get ventilated! Oh man, I didn’t notice that it had upgraded.
