	I agree on every one of your points, except the one about the
quick-grow/shrink gadget (it seems a bit superfluous).   Also:

	This has been discussed on the net.  It just isn't possible as the
OS doesn't keep track of a processes resources.  You can still RemTask() it
if you want, but no results are guarenteed.

And in balmy Berkeley, after days of gray skies (but impressive), the sun has
finally broken out..... blue skies, temperatures in the 80's+.  This isn't 
without it's faults though, as we just had to shut down ucbugs for the third
day in a row due to machine room temperatures of 95 degrees (our single
overworked air-conditioner couldn't keep up).  -sic-
