## Resource defaults

Resource defaults explicitly altered from the global defaults by this module:

- bar.n.label: if Rx
- bar.n+1.label: if Tx
- bar.n.litbackground: #787cf8
- bar.n+1.litbackground: #78b0f8

- scalewidadj: 160*if

## Possible enhancements

Could (and should) be extended to use vmstat/iostat utilities on platforms other than Linux (eg, Solaris *BSD).

MGM will not get your whites whiter or your colors brighter. It will, however, sit there and look spiffy while sucking down a major honking wad of RAM.
