- Do overlook it if you use a 14.4 modem (and probably other things
- too). It takes too big a timeslice, scrolling will drive you batty
- the way it jerks. It also might mess up download speed but I never
- affirmed that. $10 down the drain for me. The author should allow
- you to set the update interval to minimize such problems.

- I am using Volts 1.2beta now, and am pretty happy with it, it has
- history-sensitive usage estimating too, plus a real-time plot of
- voltage if you want (analogous with xload for those familiar with
- that). Unfortunately, it hasn't been released yet, and 1.1.1 doesn't
- work on Duos (1.1.1 also doesn't have history, just voltage). If you
- pay the $5 for 1.1.1 you can get the 1.2beta I think (and presumably
- 1.2 will be officially released sometime soon...)
