-This will work for Linux and Mac users, and could be interesting
-especially if combined with a nice R graph.
+This will work for Linux and Mac users, not so sure about shell
+commands for windows users.
 
 To run place the cursor on the =#+begin_src= line of the source block
 labeled directory-pie and press =\C-c\C-c=.
 
-Downsides
-- will take a while to run, especially for users with large home directories
-- Had to employ some emacs-lisp between the shell and R to clean up
-  the data.  (actually those " marks should not have been introduced
-  in the shell output, so this could be simplified somewhat)

+[Eric] I sometimes get weird results here, where R will import the
