I have no idea what vmstat is showing.  I guess avm= memory, so like
48MB here.  What is the rest there?

Iostat makes more sense, at least I know where those TPS reports went
to. Um Yeah, I'm gonna need those TPS reports. UnnKay.

The 640 is the only one in the catalog without a price. Even the 7026
mod 6M1 lists prices up to $105,350.  Yowsa!

Is there some way to capture these values over time to graph them?  I
would like to try out the chart feature in OpenOffice, anyway.  
(keep in mind this only has korn shell...I need to put bash on it
somehow).
