Yeah, that one appears to be pretty broken - or was the last time I 
tried it anyway. I actually have several that I have (or had) used, 
which you can see at http://newcastle.devrandom.net/~demon/pb-ss.png. I 
did have to patch some sensor code to properly display CPU info for my 
PowerBook, and I had to fix the wireless and network sensors to properly 
parse the output of iwconfig and to unpack IP addresses properly 
(apparently the author has never heard of big-endian systems). If you 
want my patches, let me know.
