Hi Craig,

I debated whether or not to preserve those settings but decided that 1 
(or a couple) of keystrokes upon restart is no big burden.

We can always add the 'save' logic later, after some more feedback.

Maybe it should say "additional" rather than "adjacent".  What do you think?

By the way, note the typo "5-7" which should have said "5-9" (I, too, 
have only 8 processors).
