Hi,

Recently, I updated my QuickSilver to Leopard.

I've got iStat Menus 1.3 installed. It's ok, but a little twitchy to
mouse clicks, and the CPU graph isn't showing niced processes
correctly. I know, MenuMeters works. But I really really like the
multi-time zone clock in iStat Menus.

Not interested in paying for iStat Menus 3. Their latest doesn't run
on ppc anyway.

iStat Menus 2.x supports ppc and Leopard - and is still freeware.
But I haven't been able to find it anywhere! Anyone have it?

Thanks,
- Dan.

Thanks all! Got hit privately with several copies etc. You'all are
the greatest!

For a while:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/610326/istat2.zip

This version seems much more stable on Leopard than the older. No
more twitchy actions (drop-down menus getting stuck, etc). It took
the CPU drop-down about 10 minutes to start showing percentages.

Still no niceness indication in either the % or the graph. But then
I noticed that Activity Monitor was doing the same 0%. Googling
seems to indicate that this is a cosmetic OS bug. The nice
priorities still work, they're just not showing in the stats. :\

- Dan.
