It is, and its cleared up.  Sort of.

I looked at the code, and well, I was forgetting to remove the old entry
before adding a new one.  Basically, every time you edit, it was adding one
to all of the histograms.

I just added up by hand the number of systems according to the computer
Histogram, and there are 151 in there (151 dots), but only 130 records in
the entire DB.  Thus, only 21 edits have taken place thus far (kinda cool
how that works out, isn't it?).

Anyway, I think the editor has stabilized - let me know if your CPU type
goes UP on the Histogram after you do an edit.  Disregard the values right
now (well, they are in the ballpark) - only pay attention to their change.

In a few days when I get the chance, I'll write a script to re-create all
of the histograms with the proper values.

Thanks for pointing this out to me!  It was a REALLY big type on my part
that I missed!

Shawn.
