   My real question was: do you, or anyone else, see any real value with that
graphic crap that can't even be minimized? Do you understand what it shows? In
my various versions there's no scale on either vertical or horizontal. So,
what does it actually show?

   Forget about the CPU hog claim then, focus on what y'all think you're
getting as added information compared to if it went away and gave you the
entire window showing the actual CONNECT/DISCONNECT info in the window.

   There's a lot of BMP files included into the EXE file just to keep those
graphics going -- are they really of any value to any Argus/Radius/Taurus
using sysop?

   (And please Mark, don't be so damn conservative, let's focus on the future.
