The widgets are very useful. Specifically: 1) My MacBook had an overheating issue (until I replaced the battery). I used iStat Pro to track the temperature (among other things). 2) Radar In Motion is for showing the same radar map that the Weather Channel uses. The 300 mile screen is great for tracking rain storms & to estimate when I'll be able to go out walking. 3) Stocks isn't very good, but it's always just a key away. 4) Dictionary. Some apps have their own dictionary access keys, but I like this widget that's always an F12 away. 5) MLB Schedule lets me 'casually' follow the Yankees. (I'd get MLB audio if I were anymore than casually interested.) 6) Weather Bug has a reading 2 miles from my house. Its temp and wind readings have been pretty useful. Jon On Apr 13, 2009, "Zane H.
