not to knock either, but....aren't these widgets sort of just nice toys, but not really key to the computing experience? Don't get me wrong, I have used both Konfabulator AND Dashboard, and found both to be good, but not critical. in fact, good and distracting. So, I wonder about people whose focus is their widgets. uh..it's like when you consider all people need to be doing with their computers, widgets are (for me) sorta way down on the list. in fact, if gil bates were to really throw lot of money and people into making his version of widgets the best in the Universe, I'd see it as a monument to his olympian ego and stupidity. nk On Jan 9, 2006, at 5:49 PM, Philip J Robar wrote: > Konfabulator is not a copy or version of Apple's Widgets.
