He says what I've been saying for a long time now. I am not an economist but I have thought that the US economy was in trouble for the last few years as you can't just keep borrowing money from the world, because at some point the world will realise you have no ability to pay it back, and as soon as that happens the house of cards collapses. In Australia we are lucky in that we have lots of resources to pay for our otherwise extragavent lifestyles. I love how Art Laffer thinks that stock values and housing prices actually equal wealth. They are only worth anything when you actually sell them, until then it's only potential wealth. So long as you have any amount of mortgage, your house is a liability, not an asset, as many US home owners have discovered when they can't sell their house to pay off their overpriced mortgage!</p> It’s nice to hear someone with their head screwed on.

As for 1.1, I think SNMP monitoring is a fantastic idea as there's really nothing easy out there that can use this info. As long as it works with the SNMP in my Draytek 2700 VG :)</p> <p>Shane.</p> Great work - the app works brilliantly.

I have recently crossed over from Windoze and was getting withdrawals from not having my MUM usage meter. I found this at the whirlpool forums. How about you contact Internode and have them add it to their list of usage meters. I'm sure a lot of other people would appreciate your fine efforts. Thanks again.</p> Nodequota is great!

INodeMon also gave me problems in that it would quit (disappear from menu bar) unexpectedly.

Not sure if this is some problems on my machine (intel iMac running 10.5.4)

Also it would be great if the passsword field would accept a paste instruction so that you could copy and paste in your password from another application.

Looking forward to any help you can offer, thanks !
