Re: Processor Temp

Thanks for the information. I hoped it was possible, as several Apps
did so under OS 9 with success (SonnetTech's Metronome, XLR8's Mach
Speed Control I believe did the same... Newer Tech had a utility as well).

I was hoping there was some way to achieve the capturing of that data
with minimal work.
