PowerBook Info is an external written for use with OtherMenu which is a really cool utility written by James Walker.
This external gives you various info about the status of your PowerBook. It serves no purpose on a non-portable machine. The following info is displayed:
Battery:
Charger Connnected: On if plugged in
Charge Rate: High if charging, Trickle if nearly charged
Internal Modem:
Power: On if modem is turned on
Software: On if modem software (background application) is running
Offhook: Yes if modem has phone offhook (dialing or connected)
Wake on ring: Yes if PB is set to wake up on ring
Network:
AppleTalk: Is it on or off
File Sharing: Is it on or off
Printer:
Currently selected printer name
Processor:
Speed: Current CPU speed (can vary according to power-saving settings)
This external is free copyrighted software but I would appreciate it if you would drop me a line if you use it. If you think it is really cool I can always use a few dollars but that is totally up to you. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
