      It's spelled "{monitor}".
  
      (1996-11-28)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   monitor
  
      1. A {cathode-ray tube} and associated electronics connected
      to a computer's video output.   A monitor may be either
      {monochrome} (black and white) or colour ({RGB}).   Colour
      monitors may show either digital colour (each of the red,
      green and blue signals may be either on or off, giving eight
      possible colours: black, white, red, green, blue, cyan,
      magenta and yellow) or analog colour (red, green and blue
      signals are continuously variable allowing any combination to
      be displayed).   Digital monitors are sometimes known as {TTL}
      because the voltages on the red, green and blue inputs are
      compatible with TTL logic chips.
  
      See also {gamut}, {multisync}, {visual display unit}.
  
      2. A programming language construct which encapsulates
      variables, access procedures and initialisation code within an
      abstract data type.   The monitor's variable may only be
      accessed via its access procedures and only one process may be
      actively accessing the monitor at any one time.   The access
      procedures are {critical section}s.   A monitor may have a
      queue of processes which are waiting to access it.
  
      3. A hardware device that measures electrical events such as
      pulses or voltage levels in a digital computer.
  
      4. To oversee a program during execution.   For example, the
      monitor function in the {Unix} {C} library enables profiling
      of a certain range of code addresses.   A histogram is produced
      showing how often the {program counter} was found to be at
      each position and how often each profiled function was called.
  
      {Unix} {man} page: monitor(3).
  
      5. A control program within the {operating system} that
      manages the allocation of system resources to active
      programs.
  
      6. A program that measures software performance.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mandrakes
      Hebrew dudaim; i.e., "love-plants", occurs only in Gen. 30:14-16
      and Cant. 7:13. Many interpretations have been given of this
      word _dudaim_. It has been rendered "violets," "Lilies,"
      "jasmines," "truffles or mushrooms," "flowers," the "citron,"
      etc. The weight of authority is in favour of its being regarded
      as the Mandragora officinalis of botanists, "a near relative of
      the night-shades, the 'apple of Sodom' and the potato plant." It
      possesses stimulating and narcotic properties (Gen. 30:14-16).
      The fruit of this plant resembles the potato-apple in size, and
      is of a pale orange colour. It has been called the "love-apple."
      The Arabs call it "Satan's apple." It still grows near
      Jerusalem, and in other parts of Palestine.
