"sensorinstallhowto" outdated, contains misleading information

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto

This page is about monitoring "CPU and other system temperatures, fan
speeds, and voltages "

There's a section that says:

> Monitoring sensors on your desktop
> Unity System Load Indicator
> In Unity one may use System Load Indicator via the Ubuntu Software Center.

I don't know if that was true at some time in History but it certainly
isn't now.

I have installed System Load Indicator, and it is almost identical to
System Monitor. It allows you to monitor CPU usage, memory usage, disk
I/O and network activity, but NOTHING about sensors,  temperatures and
fan speed. At all.

The wiki page appears to be "unmutable" and there's not even a "talk"
page, so the only way I found out to report the error (and it took me
more time to figure out than it should have, by the way) was this
maing list.

I apologise if this is not the right place.

Teo
