LONGBOY  Refuses to show the weather anywhere. Returns "invalid data" error. Too bad, since there seems to be no other Intel weather app.

MIKEPJ  Glad to hear it! I don't get much time to work on XRG anymore (working instead on paying projects), but XRG's always been a fun app to work on. I have a few ideas for the next version already...

NICOLASD  So glad this is still in active development. By far, my favorite tool for keeping an eye on what my mac is doing. And free!

There's the iStat Pro widget which is excellent, but this is always visible. I prefer that.

SOFTBEND  Great because takes almost no CPU and highly customizable (I use to only show tempreature in a small text format on the bottom right of my screen). However, seems to not handle the new sensors of the latest PowerBook. Too bad. I had to switch to Temperature Monitor, which is not so convenient because unlike XRG, you cannot access prefs with a CTRL-click on the window (I usually disable the Dock icon for these kind of application, therefore it has no menu bar anymore).

BY  The XRG 1.1 CPU T-Dio temp reading is about 8 or 10 C degrees higher than the reading returned by the MBresink Temperature Monitor.

The XRG 1.1 Hard Drive temp reading seems about the same as the MBresink Temperature monitor reading for generic HD.

(Note that Temperature Monitor also provides a 'SMART Drive' HD temp reading, which reads about 2 or 3 degress C higher than the generic HD temp reading.)

I don't yet know which readings are most accurate. Though the Bresink Temperature Monitor has a newer release date (September 2005) than XRG... does that imply more accurate? who knows...

ROD HAGEN  Quite a few people have been finding significant discrepancies (of several degrees C) betwen the CPU temps reported by X Resource Graph and those reported by the very highly regarded "Temperature Monitor" and "Hardware Monitor" under OSX 10.4.2 on iMac G5s.

X Resource Graph seems to read artificially high.

Treat readings cautiously until this issue is sorted out.
