Hi Lars,

sysutils/nbosd looks very nice and rather useful, thanks! :-)

However, I can think of the following:

There are 2 important/interesting information missing:
- remaining run-time in hours:minutes when running on battery
- CPU temperature (especially on laptops)

Also, it might be quite useful to render battery related info in red 
colour once battery charge drops below some (configurable) limit when 
not running on AC power.

The last but not least important is this -- nbosd shows you info on 
demand only.  I find that most often I forget about my battery running 
flat and thus nbosd wouldn't help.  Any idea how to deal with it ?

Cheers,

Martin
