Dear gustavorusso,

thank you very much for your feedback on Temperature Monitor. Unfortunately your report is very unclear and seems to indicate several misunderstandings.

Temperature Monitor is a Mac OS X application. As such it has no permission to use or allocate any wired memory. Only the Mac OS X kernel has this privilege.

Also, the term "to page out wired memory" does not make any sense, because by definition, "wired memory" is the part of the memory which is not allowed to participate in any form of paging. To learn more about this, please see Apple's reference documentation on memory in Mac OS X.

We also have never seen any reports about "system freezes", although the software is in use on several hundred thousand Macintosh systems and we are in close contact with our customers.

So if you actually have seen any problem with Temperature Monitor, please use the feedback feature in the Help menu of the software to provide more data. Any defects (bugs) are usually fixed within a few hours.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.
