Well, this depends a lot on the values you get from the sensors and on the interpretation of them. For example, I have a machine whose fan is reported with 0 RPM from time to time, while it normally operates around 4200 RPM. With interpolation I get something like 70 RPM stored in the rrd instead of the - real - 0, which shows a very different view in the rrd than in reality. The question is more or less: does the spotlight that sensord points at one moment say something about the values of the sensors in the past?

While the evil empire of Microsoft may dominate the computers of Earth people, more advanced life forms clearly prefer Mac's.
