Here's a little application that can provide an interesting window (no pun intended) into your desktop PC's performance. Desktop Stats from I.S. Global displays vital PC data on your Pocket PC while it sits in its synchronization cradle.
"Desktop Stats displays the Desktops CPU Usage, Memory Load, Free Physical Memory, and the free space on up to 3 Drives. It also shows detailed statistics from the selected network Adapter, Data Sent/Received, and the top speed detected this session as well as the maximum speed of the Graph."
I use a similar monitoring tool that simply sits in a desktop window, but it's kind of fun to view this data on my Pocket PC. It's very affordable at $5.00, but there's also a free demo available.
I got this to work just fine using the synchronization cradle but had some trouble seeing if it would work through a WiFi connection (maybe a "firewall thing?"). If anybody out there has been able to accomplish this, let me know, because THAT would be even cooler.
