Cool thing!
Two questions:
- shouldn't the "Total" Bufsize kB be equal to the ammount in the first
line ("There are ...")?
- What is "Valid kB" over "Bufsize kB" - Actually used space vs. Size of
the buffer? (If so, could the "Valid kB" be changed to "kB in use" or
something a bit more descriptive?)
