In an earlier post, I described how computers can tell that you worked a long day, you’re still working late, you’re deprived of nutrition, and they see it’s time you need a what the hell?! wake-up call. That time it reported there were about the 4.3 trillion emails in my outbox.

Last night, it was a Preference Panel that monitors the internal sensors of this Mac G5 DualCore, with this specific menu reporting temperatures and fan speeds. The 151° temp displayed at the top, in blue, is actually reporting the same Backside temperature as the top menu listing right below it — or at least they should be. The 151° listed is obviously the correct one, since the smoke alarms are silent.
