ok i also have an imac at home, g3 450 db running X
but i don't use it much since i'm not at home often
somebody showed me a utlity that tracked the cpu, applications, processes of a mac in os X but i can't find it, can somebody show me where it is?
also os 9 had a profiler that i can't find in X
does X have a more detailed profiler than 9 so that i can see if the os recognizes all of the h/w installed?
lastly is there a command that allows me to minimize all of the open windows in 9 and X so that i can quickly view the desktop?
thanks

Well, either the UNIX command "top" will do that or Process Viewer in your Utilities folder in your Apps folder.
There is an Apple System Profiler in OS X it is also in your Utilities folder.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: Beatin' to it.

You can option-command click the Finder in the Dock to hide everything but the Finder.
Unfortunately this will open an existing or new Finder window, which is annoying if you don't want that.
You can also click the Finder in the dock and then select "Hide Others" from its application menu.
Lastly, there's a little Dock Extra called "Show Desktop" on versiontracker that will do just that.

In the interests of completeness, there is also a command line version of Apple System Profiler which can be run simply by typing AppleSystemProfiler at the command line.
