[G4] User Report on the new Security Update 2006-004 -

[Tim Collier]

Simply deleting Dashboard (yes you can do that) works well too.  I  
didn't like it from the moment I saw it.  If I need to know the  
weather, I go to my local NBC affiliate's site...much more  
comprehensive or in my case noaa.org (I live in Florida).  Some  
stupid widget isn't going to tell me about an approaching hurricane.
