Many machines provide some type of status bar that occupies a small part of
the screen. It does not seem unreasonable to maintain pertainent information
in a viewable place. Examples of such data that I use are: time, disk/cpu/
network running lights, message window (for incoming mail notices, meeting
notices, etc.).
