I would like the About screen to show the hard drive capacity. Not because I forget, but just to show the non-believers (ones who think a 128MB memory stick is the pinnacle of capacity).

Sure, but I seem to remember somebody talking about a geek visual that would show drive space, system load, disk IO, network IO, etc. Basically the output of top/iostat/netstat/df/uptime/all the other standard unix monitoring tools. If not, consider this a request, that would be cool :-)

That would be very cool... esp if combined with some sort of visual eye candy.

How hard (easy) would it be to make a Matrix'ish one with symbols or 1's and 0's shooting down the screen?
