Yes, I checked this, but it would mean having to find a way to calculate the 
average and re-insert it. No matter - the horizontal lines are actually clearer 
on larger timescales. :)

Didn't get round to testing this. Mainly beacuse I found out how to get 
alternative AVERAGE RRAs to display by utilising the '--step' option for 
rrdgraph... it was quite far down the documentation (I reckon it isn't a widely 
used thing in 'graph' compared to 'update'). 

Thanks for your help,
