It hasn't got any sensitivity to "Athlon" built in, but it's trying to help you out and tell you about servers that have info that changes alarmingly. > > TIA > > Michael > > > _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ > > _/ _/ _/_/_/ Hopkins Research Ltd > _/ _/ _/ _/ > _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ http://www.hopkins-research.com/ > _/ _/ _/ _/ > _/ _/ _/ _/ 'touch the future' > > _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
