Maybe I worded that poorly. Even tho in context I believe it was easy to understand what I was saying. I should have made that statement more specific. Maybe it should have said.. "Sadly, since there are no temperature reporting programs which support the thermal sensors in the Wallstreet I laptop for OS X..." Anne Judge was kind enough to suggest Temperature Monitor, which I tried and found that it does not currently support the sensors built into the Wallstreet I. Or atleast, my version of the WS I. Now, theoretically, one of the developers for Temperature Monitor could figure out how the sensors in the WS I work and equip the application to support reading from them. But at this point, it does not. In reality, I could help move the development along by purchasing a registration key. As it states on their site.. "...the development of Temperature Monitor and Hardware Monitor is very costly because the necessary data has to be determined by reverse engineering and tests run on a variety of computer models. Please support the development of the applications by purchasing a registration key..." I wouldn't have a problem doing that, if the product already supported my hardware to some degree and additional development was being persued. -nils -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
