The thermometer has -no- idea what's actually happening while your machine is booting. It only knows how fast to move by remembering how long it took to boot last time. -- --David A.

I always knew I'd learn all kinds of neat things reading this list ;) Now could someone tell me why sometimes the Boot Thermometer sometimes only goes halfway when I do a warm boot? I'm using a CMS SCSI card if that makes any difference. -- Paul Hutmacher uunet!nuchat!paulh
